FOF Youth Exchange 2006


FOF Youth Exchange 2006
Finally time and technology have come together and I can update!
At the halfway point now and there is not going to be enough time to see everything, visit and get to know everyone, send all the postcards to the family and friends, and figure out how I can get twice as much stuff home as what i came with!



This is a pic from the Ravesnburg trip for the Rutenfest, like a city history parade with mostly kids. Nick drew the favors from the wine makers - gets to taste their wine and keep the glass!

Wednesday we took a bus to Unteruhldingen and saw the Pfahlbauten aka houses on pillars. The exhibit covered hundreds of years and included were reproduced tools from the "ice man" found in the Alps a few years ago and some great tips if you find yourself remotely stranded.
Then we went to Affenberg or monkey mountain as it is translated, near Salem. That was just plain fun! Sun, storks, monkeys, and cooler weather! Oh, Happy Birthday to Holly! We missed you!
So enough chatter....here are some more pics!
