Day - 10 Bauhaus Desu

Today was an amazing day! We got to sleep in a little before walking to the Bauhaus, one of the original schools of the origin for design. I wasn't feeling the best today, had some bad food the night before and my stomach was aching all through today, but being able to see the school was the best. It was the second astablishment for the school since it started in 1919 and ended in Berlin in 1945. Dessau was home to the school the longest until Nazi takeover pushed them out for "not being German".

For some background of the Bauhaus, it was a design school for a wide range of arts, including painting and printing, but they are well known for their furniture designs. They took the big, bulky furniture and stripped them down to light, elegant designs to make them more "modern". The origin of the steel armed chairs began here and many simplistic light and lamp designs.

To many, the Bauhaus appeared to be bizarre. Outsiders did not understand what the school was doing unless they interacted with students or faculty.

During our tour, we got to see the school in its reconstructived form, for most had been lost due to damage of the war and the items had been moved to Berlin. We also saw a staged room of a famous Bauhaus student who was female and head of the steel construction.

As interesting as the tour of the school was, I lot focus around the time we took a break and headed out to see the memorial houses of the directors. One being i was tired from our travels, and two I am not feeling well today. After we left the Bauhaus, I ended up napping for three hours or so before dinner.

Dinner was fantastic!!! We went to a place called The Potatoe House and literally most everything on the menu was potato based. I had potato soup, a baked potato that was "Hacinda" themed (and spicy) a rosé wine and Nussknacker ice cream. It was so good holy cow. I want more but I need to watch my Euros and I'm still feeling icky.
