First Day

We arrived in Frankfurt today at around 8, 2 in the morning in america! We missed the early flight, so we waited in the airport for 4 hours for the next flight. We touched down in Hannover at around 3, 9 in the morning. Everyone's baggage came in, so we went to meet our germans. We got on the bus and drove to Ilsenburg. We dropped half of our people there and continued to Wernigerode. The town is very beautiful, with timber frame houses and cobblestone streets. Barbara von Rosenburg showed me around the town a bit, and then we ate dinner (Stuffed Peppers) I was very surprised how well I was greeted, I feel like a family member. Both of Pia's parents are very nice and funny, (They said thank you very much for the gifts, mom and dad) We just now finished watching the news, and I am about to go see what else we have planned. Tomorrow I start school

Thanks for the update! I am thrilled that you made it safely! I can't wait to read your blog each day. Tell the von Rosenberg's that I said Thank you for taking you in their home as a son. We look forward to meeting Pia soon!

Sleep well~
