May 30th, 2011

Today started with the remainder of the nine hour flight. Once we landed we headed to passport checking place. After everyone was cleared we counted off we made our way to the baggage claim. While getting luggage of the line you could hear Frau White yelling, "Jack just let my bag go". In confusion her bag almost got left in the Frankfurt airport. Now came the fun of finding out bus. Being three hours late due to our lay over in Dallas, we had no idea where to find our bus. Luckily, the bus driver had just pulled the bus further away from the terminal. We made our way to the bus and the driver was kind enough to load our belongings onto the bus. Once on the bus we did a head count and then headed out. About an hour and a half later we stopped at the "rasthof" or in English, rest stop. Here we got a few things and then loaded back up. We now get the news that there has been a wreck on the autoban and we must go through France to get to Staufen. The majority of us decided a nap would be great. A fantastic five hours later we arrived in Staufen. All of us were very excited to see our partners from Faust- Gymnasium. We sat around and talked for awhile and then departed to go with our host families. This was today, May 30. The trip is going great.
