This photo is from the top of this huge observation tower that overlooks the lake and the city--but it was windy and cold!
We got a taste of the town today. We figured out the bus routes and the euros--not so hard. I am still amazed at how much I can figure out in German (way easier than Spanish--must have been passed along in my genes!)
We went down to Lake Constance and took lots of pictures of the Alps across the way (Austria to the southeast and Switzerland to the southwest). We also found the coolest children's playground that would never be found in the States. You're never too young to play.
We met up with our teacher, Dr. Barb DeSanto, and she has been to this area frequently so now we know where we want to go when the shops open. I can't wait to go shopping (I'm making my list of who to buy for, so send me a request!) We also stopped at the Zeppelin Museum but will go back when we have more time. It's still pretty chilly but invigorating. I'm prepared though (my mother taught me well.) The people have been so helpful and kind. A smile goes a long way :)
This afternoon we have orientation with Zeppelin University and learn about the rest of the week in class. So far we have met students from Ohio, Italy and Latvia. There will be lots more international students when we meet tonight. It all makes the world seem that much smaller.
