What a day of travel! We left Olney at 7:30 am on Thursday and arrived at the Berlin airport at 1:00 pm on Friday. Whew! That was quite a trip.
The plane from Newark to Berlin was delayed by 4 hours. This made us very late to arrive in Berlin, so the bus we had scheduled to take us to the hotel left. We began the adventure of trying to navigate Berlin's public transportation system of buses and trains. The students were great and took it all in stride. The good news is we made it to the hotel and it is really nice.
After we checked into the hotel, we had something to eat and the students hit the Berlin shopping area called Kurfürstendamm. Saturday looks to be a really fun day as we will be joined by Marcel Bengs, an exchange student from Germany in 2008. He is going to tour the city with us.
Stay tuned, but be warned that WiFi is a little bit spotty. New updates may not come out in a very timely manner.
