Our Days Off from Group Activities

We are in our final days of free time from the group activities. I have seen many of the students coming and going about the local areas because there are so many things happening! Langenargen had their town summer festival over this last week-end and many of the students took advantage of the food stands and the festivities. Also, Friedrichshafen is in the middle of their annual "Kulture-fest" or culture festival. There are huge tents with different shows going on inside. My host family and I saw a show last night from a local group of singers called F.I.T.A. They sing completely without instruments and they are very popular among the young and the old here. I was amazed that most of the songs that they sang were classic American hits from the 60´s and the 70´s. Songs like "In the Jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight..." and "Blue Moon".
Tomorrow we will travel by train to see Munich. I will see everyone together then and hopefully will be able to post some more pictures with some expert help. I am going to try to post some pictures from the welcome party, from a concert at the church in Langenargen and at the Rotenfest in Ravensburg.
