Just in case you're curious about Marburg's history like I was here's what bcanet.org says about it, "Located in the wooded Lahn River valley in the state of Hesse, Marburg is picture-postcard gorgeous. Marburg is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany; its many architectural gems include Germany's oldest Gothic church, the Elisabethkirche. An ambitious project to restore the city's half-timbered houses has added tremendously to Marburg's immense charm. On a hill high above, the city is dominated by the Landgrafenschloss, an imposing 13th-century stone castle. Formerly the home of Hesse's rulers, today it's a museum and a student residence. With a population of 80,000, Marburg offers the friendliness and convenience of a small city. But as a university town, Marburg also offers plenty of culture and nightlife."

Marburg
I was really hoping to go somewhere cool like Frankfurt or Hamburg yesterday since we got this weekend off, but then we ended up having that event at 2:00pm (or should I say 14:00 like they do here)..... so later on last night I walked all around Marburg with my bookbag and my camera by myself, and felt like such a tourist.
