A day in Munich!

After a nine hour flight from Chicago to Munich, we arrived and had six hours out in the city. We took the students out in the city for lunch and went shopping around some small shops. No bought anything really, just looked. It was so nice to stretch our legs. This is the first time I have traveled into a country where I could not communicate their language with them. I even explained to some of the Germans I knew English, Spanish, and French, but it wasn't enough. However, it was not hard to get where I needed and communicate via pointing and smiling. What a weird feeling to know I can't say something to anyone. The students here are awesome! We get along so well, and we are already creating awesome memories. I keep asking questions to everyone, like, "What are we going to be doing? Where will we be? How modern will it be?" I'm still in the dark as is everyone else, and at this point, the surprises to come are going to make this even better!
