Several years later, we had the opportunity to travel to Germany with her, and she showed us some of the sights. (Note - these were taken in pre-digital days, and scanned a number of years ago. My skills with Photoshop are lacking, but I hope the images are satisfactory for computer viewing.)
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI was an exchange student too, but I played it safe and chose England. :) No language barrier there!
So cool! Love the pictures. We had an exchange student stay with us when I was in HS and it was certainly an experience. She was from Antigua and even though she showered, etc. daily, she didn't use deodorant at all.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - my daughter was taking German in high school (although she said it was virtually useless--more a fault of the system foreign languages are taught in the school system, but being immersed in the language helped her learn to communicate quickly.
ReplyDeleteKatie - different cultures, different systems. My daughter gave up shaving her legs when she was over there.
Your field trips always take us to such interesting places. Beautiful photos.

Thanks, Mason - although I'm running out of pictures to share -- why don't some of you send me some!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous village. I want to go!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The places look like they are right out of a fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteCarol, TerryS - everything there was picturesque
ReplyDeleteHaving lived only in places without a strong European influence, it was all jaw-dropping.
Nice pictures. How nice for your daughter to be able to go there.

ReplyDeleteIn case anyone cares, the river in that photo is the Werra. :)
