We had a very long day yesterday. We had to be at school at noon and then we had a quick orientation meeting and were given our passes and info. After venturing out for lunch (another pizza spinaci for me) we embarked on our tour of Dusseldorf - a long, hot tour. A three hour tour - though we did not get lost on our tour as they did on Gilligans Island. Another infamous three hour tour.) We were very hot, and were glad for the break for ice cream and water. and beer - but most of us were too hot at that point. The city is beautiful, and it was nice to see everything - we even met a pair of German police, who were quite genial and understandable. They offered us Gummi bears - which Miriam (leader from AIB) was a bit hesitant about as Gummis (without the bear) are German for condoms. They welcome back dinner was nice - the AIB staff had prepared an Independence Day celebration for us, and then afterwards we went to Monkey Island to watch the game. Germany lost 2-0, but it was fun to hang out with everybody while we watched the game. A group of us left early to go home, and I took the long way home so that we were all on the same bus for part of the trip. And I made it home okay by myself to Kaarst.
Max and Kerstin have spoiled me - I haven't had to walk from the train station to AIB, or take the direct route to/from school, Kerstin drove me yeasterday, and Max took me today on his way to work.
