Ferropolis

On the way back from Wittenberg, my host parents took me to this other place in Sachsen-Anhalt called Ferropolis. It basically means Iron-opolis because "ferrum" is Latin for "iron". It is called this because this place is the final resting place for huge mining machines. I mean huge. These things are ginormous! Ironically, it was a very hot day so I kind of felt like I was deep in the hot steamy mines with these machines. We started off with one of the gadgets that gave us an audio tour but we soon realized we would be there for hours and "fast forwarded" our experience a bit.

This one was my favorite. It's name was Gemini and, being born on May 22nd, I am also a Gemini!
