The flight went well, as Mr. [Herr=) ] Miller has posted. I hope everyone enjoyed their inflight meals as much as I did. Yumm!!! Chicken and rice with a side of sarcasm. No, the Lufthanza staff was very accomodating and the flight was enjoyable, all 7 and a half hours of it. We were all a little goofy after the long flight
After arriving in Frankfurt, we loaded up two coach buses - Mercedes Benz buses none the less, DG Orchestra travels in style - we began the two hour drive to Bietigheim-bissingheim. Nothing too exciting, alot of us caught up on some more sleep so that we could tackle the day ahead. Alot of comments were made about the trees, because of their height, and the general fact that there ARE trees here, lots of them, not just concrete. Bietigheim is a beautiful citz, the architecture and art is amaying.
We arrived at the music schule and unloaded buses individually. The streets are old and very narrow, and so things had to be taken one at a time. Once everzone was unloaded, or oust loaded, we congregated in the main area to meet with our host families.
Kelsey and I are stazing with Muriel and her family. They are extremely accomodating and have made us feel very at home. We unpacked and are taking a break to write now while lunch is being prepared; a traditional German dish. Later tonight is the first German game of the World Cup, and we will be going to a friends house to watch the game. It should be exciting. I've never watched a futbol game, but I can imagine that it will be much like a Hawks playoff game!On that note, we'll leave you with a final shot from the daz so far, and talk again soon!!
P.S. A big shout out to my mom and dad! Thanks so much for this awesome opportunity!
