Today started like many others. As usual we had an early start. We met at school around eight and then had a nice welcome. The principal, Herr Steffens Heerwagen, was kind enough to do announcements just like Mr. Hacker does in Jasper. After the announcements, Herr Heerwagen took time out of his busy day to make sure that we got to see the school and everything in it. We then headed to city hall. There we had a small meal with the Burgermeister and recieved a warm welcome to Pössneck. Following this wonderful welcome we headed out for a city tour. The city was once a wealthy, prospurous city. Until reunification, it was an industrial hub. We then got to witness Zach Grewe play an amazing piece on the pipe organ in the oldest church in the town. We then got to take part in our favorite activity...walking. We walked up the hill for what seemed like forever. Then we came to Christopher's house where we got to once agin climb a hill. At the topnof the hill however, you could see most of the city. We walked back down and then proceeded to school. At school we were told to find food and be back at the school at 1pm. A majority of us went for a German cusinr known as döner. After lunch we headed tO he gym for sports. It was much different than our gyms in America. There were grave type storage units in the walk which greatly helped to store things and conserve space. All In all today was a good day for he most of us.
