More exchange photos

Willi Huster, president of Friedrichshafen's Peoria Club, also maintains that organization's website. He has posted many additional photos of the exchange, which everyone can find at http://www.peoria-club.de/html/austausch_2006.html. It looks like they're having lots of fun!

Beach Party 1

Ah, the beach along Lake Constance ... nothing better on a hot day! Here a group (mostly Americans with some of their German friends) pose with smiling faces! Thanks to Jenny's mother for providing this photo for the blog.

The excitement grows

Hey everyone,

We held our last meeting with the traveling students and their parents this week. Everyone is getting very excited about going, now that the trip is so close!

Those who will be living nearest to each other met and even started making plans to do things together. This year, a few students are returning for their second trip to Germany, so they already know what to expect and will be telling lots of stories on the flight over, I'm sure.

Now that it is so close and Theresa and I are not going this time, we're jealous of you all! Have a wonderful time with the new friends you're going to make. Be good and have fun (you CAN do both). We know it will be a trip you'll never forget!

Say hello to all of our friends in Friedrichshafen for us ...

Eric & Theresa
