Erste Tag


The fight to New York was fine, however my luggage was left in Chicago along with three other pieces of the group's luggage. Luckily, Karen bought me a Deutschland Fußball jersey for the EuroCup which is currently going on. We are going to a party tonight to watch the match. Anyway...the fight to Germany on AirBerlin (LTU) was seven hours...no sleep. All of the flight attendants on LTU were beautiful and friendly. A veggie option on the speisekarte\menu as well!
Upon our arrival in Suligen, after a four hour bus ride, our students greeted us with open arms and hugs with running starts. My host mother was the first person I saw, actually we recogniyed each other from the bus\school window. There was a small party for us all. Spitze! Super!


Karen and I just finished a long tour of their town, Brenburg (1000 pop.). We started by clothing up to see the pigs, tractors, and fields. I held a few of the newly born piglets...one just after it popped out! There are a few barns of sows and piglets...only two boars. All healthy and lively. I will definately post pictures soon. The tour finished with a bike ride to the river, which apparently we were tresspassing, but the sign seemed more like a decoration in the field of wheat than a serious business kind of a deal. Karen's mom greeted us with coffee and cake when we returned.
I like this place already.

Will keep you posted on football and other things.
