Today, our travel family began our journey early as we departed from Wurzburg, Germany to make way to The University of Leipzig. At the University is a room which contains many historic items and previews regarding Wilhelm Wundt and the finding of Psychology as a science. Wundt is often referred to as the Father of Psychology, bridging the gap between Philosophy and the study of the mind, itself. Though Wundt held many views that modern Psychology does not necessarily embrace, such as the notion that Psychology is a natural science, the field still owes its finding and expansion to this dedicated scientist. Wundt established a foundation of Psychology in the world of Academia and produced seventy doctors which later went to continue to the study that evolved to what we now recognize as Psychology.

Previous to the tour, our hostel, the Sleepy Lion, was not quite ready for us to move in, so we visited an Italian restaurant by the name of Valentino Leipzig. It was a treat.

Many of us went to explore the city and see the beautiful architecture. We found many lovely shoppes, watched the various street performers, and some of us indulged in Spaghetti Eis- a delicious ice cream treat that looks like spaghetti (it's seriously phenomenal).

Overall, it was a beautiful and educational day. Tomorrow morning, we are on the road again, but this time off to London! Aufiderzein, Germany!
