Washington D.C. and Schloss Wittgenstein

     I know I've shamefully neglected this blog, but I have been ridiculously busy/exhausted since I left. We youth ambassadors have done so much since last Thursday that there's no way I will remember everything, but I will make a list here of everything I remember and post some pictures. When I'm not dead from walking up the death hill from town to the castle I will write a real post!

Since Last Thursday:
-State Department briefing
-Met German exchange student counterparts
-Explored Old Town Alexandria
-739478 icebreaker/get-to-know-each-other games
-Holocaust Museum
-Flew to Germany, watched Pretty in Pink
-Arrived in Germany at approximately 7:00 AM THEIR time
-Upon arrival walked through Bad Laasphe, saw nothing
-Moved into shveet dorm rooms, nothing but Ikea furniture
-Slept
-Nutella
-Scavenger hunts, orientation sessions, exploring the town and Schloss Wittgenstein
-Bierfest
-German classes unfailingly followed by naps
-Day trip to Marburg
-Fall weather
-Sleep

I don't want to mess with YouTube right now. Or rather Germany doesn't.

Yours,
