Up EARLY today, as I had to wash my hair and get ready before Michael and Francisco picked me up at 7:15. We went to a vocational high school named Fachoberschuler Regensburg, where we met the assistant principal and were introduced to our first teacher. We observed a class whose main focus was social sciences, and watched part of a lesson, then had a great discussion with them about schooling in Arizona. Our next class was English as well, with the focus on technology. Again, watched a lesson, then the teacher had us tell about ourselves, and we had another nice discussion. Very talented, and well speaking students. Our last class was in one that focused on Economics... a great look at one of the key components to the success of the German school system. After school, we were met by Hariett, and she took Francisco and I home, and she made us a wonderful lunch of bratwurst, saurkraut, and potato salad, mmmmm,mmmmm, good! When lunch was done, Francisco went for his nap, and Hariett and I went into Regensburg for souvenier shopping. We made a couple of great buys, something for Alexis (you won't see it til we get home!) and more postcards and stamps so I can get the rest of mine sent off. We met up with Michael, coming off of a conference in town. Then we headed home, had a beer, and just sat around and talked. After that we had dinner, watched the soccer match between Italy and Paraguay, and I tried a small shot of Parly (Transylvania Plum Schnaps), beer liqueur, and raspberry liqueur... no, I was NOT driving!! Later Francisco and I worked on our respective computers... getting our emails checked, and my blog done... Home by 10:30 to get my stuff ready for tomorrow... später!!
Married to the love of my life, David, for almost 40 years, we have 2 wonderful kids. Daughter Alexis, and her handsome husband James and three incredible grandkids; Miller Jae 9, Rome 7, and Chance 3 1/2! My son, Aaron (the Marine veteran) is married to beautiful Erika. This is my fourth international trip (excluding MANY trips to Mexico) but first to New Zealand and I'm so excited to continue my adventures!
