We've Arrived!

Yesterday morning our group walked into town and toured the Romanticum Museum. We learned all about the history the the Upper Middle Rhein Valley and the resources it provides. It was an interactive experience which kept us all interested. After our visit we headed back to the hotel to get our luggage. Then, we hauled our bags to the train station to catch our train to Stuttgart. Once we arrived we ventured on the S-Bahn which took us to Untertürkheim where the school is. We were welcomed with a wonderful dinner with the exchange families...while watching soccer on the big screen of course.

Today was our first day at school with our partners. We had homeroom together and then went back to class with our partners. It was a different and new experience for all of us. Many of us walked in to Untertürkheim for lunch during the break, which is what many students do daily. This afternoon we walked to the Mercedes Benz Arena and got a tour. We got to see inside locker rooms and press rooms, etc... After the tour we walked back to the school and met our partners. We all went our separate ways for the evening, allowing us to experience normal life in Germany.
