GAPP February 28, 2011 Monday (Montag)

Well, we all went to school today at BFZ Freital.  We had a nice tour of the school, lots of good food, and class time with the German students.  Their class time can go from 7am to 5pm, very different from USA.  This picture of our group inside their school with Herr Thommy and the Director of the school.  The ages of the students can range from 16 to 23, even 27 years of age.

We are all practicing our German, and they their English.  While you were all watching the Oscars last night, we were sleeping or at least trying to.  Of course, we are getting over the jet lag and settling in to our new normal routines.  We have different foods, different beds, different rooms and schedules.  But we are in Germany --- so exciting!  The Germans are very frugal and resourceful, they recycle everything including the water from the sky - more on that later - don´t want to bore you on our first day of school.  Remember what it felt like to start 1st grade???? Try, you can do it.  We are all young at heart!
