The beautiful East German city of Leipzig has been the home to many famous writers and musicians. We visited a modest home where Schiller lived when he penned the "Ode to Joy".
Leipzig was also the site of one of Napolean's first defeats. The enormous Monument to the Nations commemorates the 1oo,ooo who died there.
Here is the church where Bach served as choir master and organist. The Glee Club sang there for vespers on Pentecost Monday.
Martin Luther preached here, as well.
Our tour group in front of the statue of Bach. We also ate in a cellar restaurant named after a location in Goethe's Faust. And, as usual, the Glee Club sang for their supper, with some of our alumni joining in.
