11.7.2012

Hallo! Today was a very long, yet fulfilling day for the American participants. After a long day of travel, we all woke up around 6:30 to head off to school with our hosts, whom we shadowed throughout the day. Unlike GBS, the German school ends at 1:00. Some students went to French classes, while others enjoyed Math, German, Chemistry, Music, and Latin. After school, most students returned home for about an hour. At 2:30, we returned to school, this time only meeting there briefly before kayaking for just under two hours. Some chose to make this a competitive activity, while others enjoyed it in a leisurely way. Luckily, only two boats were tipped. Returning to the land, some students participated in a basketball game with the Germans, while others began to enjoy the spoils of the "Grillepartei" or barbecue. The food was great, featuring bratwurst and pork, as well as a variety of salads, along with some fruits and vegetables. Following dinner, many Americans played a game of soccer with the German students, while the less "football" inclined (like myself) just enjoyed each others company. Some Americans followed their hosts to the nearby beach, where they had a lovely evening, while others returned home to spend time with their host families. Overall this was an incredibly enjoyable and educational day, and I look forward to many more to come.
