Auf Wiedersehen, Spokane!

Wednesday 6/27-Thursday 6/28/12
Everyone gathered at Spokane International this morning to get going on what will proof to be one of the longest days of our lives. Tears were shed; everyone was excited and a bit anxious about what was to come…
I am writing this as I am sitting in the train to Stuttgart which we almost missed, because they had moved the track on us, announcing it, but there was no way for us to actually understand the announcements with all the background noises of incoming and leaving trains going on around us. Thank goodness we double checked with a conductor, and were told the train was leaving on track 5 not track 6. In a few frantic minutes everyone had to change tracks (up and down the stairs with a lot of luggage in the muggy heat of the Frankfurt airport which is a glass house without air conditioning) within 2 minutes…we made it, though we were sweaty hot and exhausted after this ordeal!

Now we have one more train to catch. Of course there is no free internet so I will be posting this when we are already there, safe and sound with our prospective hosts.


Thanks parents and family members for a fantastic good-bye:)
