It's beautiful, green, hilly and the architecture is amazing!
But the keyboards are weird and I am navigating through blogger.com which is all in German.
The key board has letters like this: ö ä ü ß...the 'y' key and the 'z' key are switched and I still can't figure out how to get the "at" key to show up!!
I have to cut and paste it from my own e-mail address...
Stop laughing!
So, anyway....the flight was GREAT...smooth, easy going, slept well and got here early. God Bless Boeing and their 777's...
We arrived in Wiesbaden which is about 20 minutes from the Frankfurt Airport. Wiesbaden is known for its hot springs from way, way back in the Roman Empire. And we were dropped off at this hotel:

where each of us has a private room (complete with deep, deep bathtubs--yes, i have already tried it out!!) and Bulgari soaps and shampoos...no kidding! We will be here until 3pm Sunday when we will meet our host families.
I have been told that my host family is a descendant if this man:

Seriously!
So, after we had a welcome meeting and a debriefing of our host families and this week' program plans, we took showers (I had a glorious soak in the tub with my Bulgari products!) then a wonderful dinner here at the hotel and we were picked up by our German teammates and escorted to the Kransplatzfest; an outside summer beer garden festival complete with live music. Live is good folks, live is good.
I am one lucky girl!!!
Love to all the blog readers...I miss you and will update as often as I can!

Hi Crissy;
Well this is the second time I have tried. Loved getting your update. Seens like the weather is nice. You mentioned the outside beer garden and the beautiful outside patio at the hotel. I hope you enjoyed them both. Remember, not too many late nights in a week. Keep healthy, I love you, Mom
Dying to know...do they have Der Weinerschnitzel there?
Hope you are having a blast. Lisa
Yes! I have had it two days in a row...and the beer (bier) is delish!!!
Are we wearing lederhosen and braiding your hair like Heidi? The guys at Cafe Rulli said to say hi.
Hi Christine...great to see your words here. Good for you on your big adventure...we will keep looking in at your blog.
Kevin, Christine and Sam
Hi Christine - You must be busy and having lots of fun because you haven't posted any news since you first arrived. That's ok--I'm sure you'll have lots of stories when you return.
