First days

Yesterday I was in the Improvisation course. Firstly I think it would be hard to improve in English, but in the end, I noticed that I just have to relax and stop to think, so that I can just improve. It was fun. I would never think that I would be able to improvise in English - but right now, I know it better.

What I particularly noticed in this course is that they don’t just want to show the students how to act or improvise. They want to change the thinking of their students too, so that the never say never and that they see their fault as a way to gain experience. They want to teach their students a good attitude toward their life.

Afterwards we drive to the Briscoe Western Art Museum. In the museum they represent this thing, what we first would think about Texas like cowboys & buffalos. In the end, we noticed that Texas is diverse.

After a short break, we went by boat at the river walk. The River Walk tour shows me how much Texas is connected to the Hispanic history. The river walk is lined with numerous shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as the Arneson River Theater.

 Furthermore we saw a statue of Saint Anthony of Padua, the eponym of San Antonio.
