Meeting with the Mayor and the Zeppelin Museum

Today was the first day that I was able to see everyone and ask how things were going, individually. Everyone is having a great time! This morning we were treated to a huge, soft pretzel and juice from this region, along with the story of the pretzel and the reason it has it's unique shape. I will let the teens share that with you.
Then we were treated to the Zeppelin Museum and we saw history and fantastic artwork from centuries past. There is a modern zeppelin flying around here all the time!
The letters on the keyboard are slightly different so it is a challenge to write, and so far, I have been unable to get pictures onto the blog. Willi, from the Peoria Club has taken many pictures so some will be posted soon.
Danke!
Kelly
