The IES program's first guided weekend trip took us to the Schwarzwald, where we visited a monastery, explored Titisee, and toured the very old Hansmeyerhof. We witnessed remarkable quantities of fake marble and learned much about how awful it must have been to have worked on a farm in the 17th century.

The Hansmeyerhof, a farmhouse built in 1620. Our tour guide, who spoke an impenetrable Badisch dialect, tried his best to describe how much it must have sucked to have lived in the 17th century.
