Here are some of the local kids hanging out at the ice rink over this past weekend. The bigger boys were playing hockey and the younger children are just skating and playing in the middle of it all.
Today is the last day of school for two weeks. This afternoon the local school in the New Town will have afternoon church services instead of class. The service is led by their teachers and is geared toward teenagers and pre-teens. It is held at a local catholic church next door to the school (St. Konrad's.) Since there is not the level of separation of church and state as there is in the USA, this is a common thing in Bavaria. Bavaria is officially Catholic, but appears to be very tolerant of other religions. The school kids can choose to go the the service or not and there are alternative activities.
