Wilkommen zu Deutschland!!!

Just a very quick note to let you all know that we have all arrived safe and sound in Germany and all students met up with their host families!
There were some travel delays, a long flight delay in Chicago, and a bus delay (for half the group) in Frankfurt; but we all made it to the school (with tired smiles) ready for some good times with our new German friends. 

It is a balmy 74 degrees here today and clearly the Germans are in the height of spring. There are flowers blooming everywhere. Tonight we attended a band concert at our host school. The Chamber Orchestra also performed a movement from Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. The audience was incredibly enthusiastic and it was a great introduction to our host school. 

More updates in the coming days, we will post photos of the students' activities very soon, as soon as they become available.
