Day 6 - School and Mercedes Benz Museum

 We went to school with our students up through the 5th block. The first presentations were given in one of the English classes - Belle and Ruby presented about BBA and Aleks presented about clubs at BBA. Most of us ate lunch at the school (it was delicious Gnocchi) - some of us went into Untertürkheim to get a Döner for lunch.

       


Then we met and walked along the Neckar river to the Mercedes Museum. We spent a couple of hours at the museum and then walked back to the school.

Day 1 and 2 in Koblenz

Image
 We arrived in Koblenz on Friday afternoon around 19:00. We walked with our luggage to the hotel in town. After dropping off our bags at the hotel we walked back into the town to split up and get food before  heading back to the hotel.      The next morning we woke up early to go on a boat that would take us along the Rhine River to the town Braubach. In Braubach we did fun team building activities that made the time go by. After we were done with the team building activities we walked through part of the town to the hillside next to it. We then had a short hike up to the Marksburg Castle. Once we got up to the castle we had free time before a tour of the inside. After the tour and some lunch we hiked back down through the town.  After we walked through the town we walked for about an hour towards another stop for the boat. Once we left the boat we went on the Seilbahn Koblenz, a gondola to go to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, with amazing views of Koblenz. ...

Days 8 - 10 - the weekend and Monday, June 30

Image
 On Saturday, we met in Obertürkheim to do a scavenger hunt that Frau Kellar had set up for us. We worked in teams (Germans and Americans together) and followed clues to solve a mystery. The scavenger hunt was a lot of fun and we ended up in Untertürkheim at Wiggy! (We were all so focused on the clues that no one remembered to take pictures!) At Wiggy, we learned how to make Spätzle the real way - Spätzle schaben - instead of using a press. Frau Mayer, who works in the office at the school, was kind enough to take her Saturday to teach us. Everyone got to try it - and then we ate our Käsespätzle, with a salad - it was delicious!                                                                                        The rest of the weekend, we were with...

Day 14 - Last day of school and a friendly soccer game

Image
 Today was our last day of school at Wiggy. We can't believe how fast the last two weeks have gone! We had the afternoon off - some people went to the Porsche Museum, others went to the pool, into town to do some last minute shopping or home to rest. Then we met at the soccer field for a friendly soccer game against our German partners. Everyone from our group played and we had so much fun! The final score was a 2-2 tie. After the game, we had ice cream that was brought to us by Anne (one of the German teachers).
