The students have had many new experiences! Monday afternoon we went up to the Uhrturm with the Schloßbergbahn. This is a train that takes you up the mountain so that you can explore the beautiful area. There beautiful views, flowers and bees, and new friends made. This is how we came down. We walked all of these stairs. I'm not sure who had the best time doing all the walking, but many smiles were had. The children enjoyed the exploring, but we weren't done yet! After our wonderful tour, we walked through the city. As we walked, the students decided that one of them is a pirate! The birds all belong to the pirate and are his friends. Lol! Then we arrived at our destination! Apple strudel with vanilla sauce! It was very tasty, and unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the strudel! However, as students awaited their host families, I managed to snap this picture of the children playing cards. The next day was a day to work on our goodbye program. This program...
It's hard to believe the time has gone so quickly! Our last week is passing by faster than I'd like. Monday the weather did not cooperate with our planned swimming time so we chose to enjoy a movie. Inside Out 2 was a great way to spend the rainy, chilly afternoon. Tuesday we watched the Glockenspiel play. The whimsical characters danced after the clock struck 3. Then we enjoyed a small walk to the Grazer Laundhaus. The inner courtyard has truly beautiful Italian Renaissance architecture. I'm not so sure all the students appreciated the grandeur. But they willingly posed for photos. We've spent the rest of this week preparing for the Abschiedsprogramm. This is our goodbye gift to our wonderful host families. I'll be sure to check their luggage before we leave to make sure no one tries to bring home a "new" sibling. Lol! What do you think the students liked the most so far? We leave tomorrow morning for a stop in Salzburg before heading to our hostel f...
Your children are the best! The enthusiasm for cleaning up along the river was amazing! Not only are they smiling here, but you'll see the smiles at the end. Acy finds all the nooks and crannies and makes sure the walking path is sauber. Oops! I mean clean. Here Josie and Makayla find the underside of a bench that needed a thorough cleaning. Who doesn't love to see Kaylee smile??? Sweet Josie and The Face. 😆 Elena took a moment to pose for the camera. Catching Charles unaware is tough, but it was managed. Here Giles and Acy attempt to blend into the surroundings so that everything is clean. Who couldn't adore this group? They even managed to pick up an Austrian student who helped along the way. Be the good. Do the good. COSA??? What could this be? It's the MOST hands-on science place I've ever been to! The students actually purposely stayed over an hour past time just to experience more. Here students went head to head...lite...
