Germany!!!

After a long flight with no sleep, I arrived very early in Frankfurt, Germany.  After walking what seemed miles through the airport, getting my passport checked, picking up my luggage, and going through customs, I took a cab to the hotel.  So what did I do on my first day? Sleep! I caught up on the sleep I missed and then too lazy and cheap to take a shuttle and train into Frankfurt, I relaxed in my hotel room and got organized for tomorrow. I was not too disappointed in missing the opportunity to see Frankfurt, since I visited it five years ago when I was in Germany for a month as a PSO student.

Tomorrow I will take a train to Cologne and see a little bit of the city before beginning my Fulbright orientation. The orientation is taking place at a hostel in Altenberg, Germany. The hostel was once a monastery. Although the website is in German, there are some great pictures. If interested, the website is http://www.haus-altenberg.de/. While there, I will not have any internet access, so the next time I post, either Thursday or Friday, I will be in Dresden! Happy Labor Day and I hope everyone has a safe and happy week.
