This is truly amazing.
Tonight I met our German counterparts. They arrived yesterday and a woman from the SF Rotary Club hosted a dinner for both teams to meet. That was the whole purpose...for us to meet each other. Amazing...she had a dinner in our honor and she has no idea who any of us are!! The German team is so nice, warm and very impressive!
Peter is their team leader and he is retired board of director with Opel Motors (General Motors)
Birgit is the supervisor of three Naspa Bank branches
Olaf is a neurosurgeon
Stephan is an IT tech with Deutsche Bahn group (the German railway group)
Annette is with Lufthansa AirPlus; an international service provider for business travel
Christian is self-employed with a marketing design company
The conversation was so easy because we were all just so excited! Olaf told me he went for an early morning run today and ran all along Crissy Field and ended up at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. Can you imagine coming here for the first time and seeing that on your morning run!!??
The team was excited to talk about all they have planned for us too, a boat cruise, several winery visits and vocational time. I think we get one half day off per week and every other weekend, we will get one day off. That is a fairly demanding schedule! But amazingly worth it, huh!!!
The German team will be visiting the Rotary Club of Terra Linda on April 17 and I will see them at that meeting as well as in Yosemite that weekend.
Add this to all the excitement of Lars and Claus arriving from Denmark this Thursday and this will be an action packed April, that's for sure!
Tootles...time for me to snuggle into my pillow! Nitey-nite friends!
