Day 2 - Barton Creek Mall and Church!


Me and my friend Morten started the day by going to church in a church in walking distance from the hotel. It is called: "Church of Christ". That was a very special experience! - We were welcomed by so many people! - They came and introduced themselves, and asked us where we are from. The service was only about an hour long. The thing that was very different is the way they sing. There were no musical instruments at all. I have a video of the church chair with the singing on, it will be up very soon.


After the service we were invited to lunch by one older lady. She was very nice:-) A very different experience!


After church we went almost directly to Highland Mall were the rest of our class were. We got a bit lost on the way:-P From there we went to Barton Creek Mall. We were actually supposed to go to Barton Springs, but we went to far by bus so we will wait:-P

Highland Mall:


Directly after 2 hours in the mall we went to Austin city once again to watch bats! - They have a bridge were thousands of bats is assembled underneath it. When it gets dark they all fly out from under the bridge. They are very proud of it, but we have to say that we were a bit disappointed:-P We did not see as many bats as they had told us:-P But it was very cool to watch the city and hang out with my classmates by the bridge....

Here we are waiting for the bats:

Ja, det lidt sjovt med Church of Christ. Dem er der mange af, og alle har blandt andet det tilfælles at de ikke bruger musikinstrumenter. Fik at vide at det skulle være den mest populære kirke i Nashville; byen som også går under navnet "Music City".

Sounds cool with the bats though... :-P
