Germany Exchange 2007

Hi everybody!
I just thought I'd add an exchange organiser / teacher / group mother's point of view! As I'm sure you have read we are participating in an extremely full and hectic program! There appears to be little time for chilling out or even sleeping! So there is a lot of sleeping happening on buses, trains and in cars etc. As you have no doubt heard, we have visited Berlin, Dresden and today Magdeburg as well as many places in the vicinity of the school. Many castles, churches and other historic sites. The host families are all delightful and cannot do too much for our students. Redmond has ridden in a Panzer and spent a day in an army barracks. Sarah L has been to a beautiful concert in which her host younger sister sang; they have been to soccer matches and much more. The weather has treated us well and we are enjoying beautiful sunny days (after the fog lifts) and very crisp nights.
I'm afraid our time with available computers is brief but I will try to get some photos uploaded in the next 24 hours.
Hope you are all also enjoying your holidays
Regards Trish
