Week 1: January 11-17

Week 1: January 11-17

On Wednesday, January 13, I have finally arrived in Germany. It was a long and stressful plane trip over. It was difficult to adjust to the cold weather after leaving warm Texas. The weather was rainy and the sky was overcast. After arriving in Frankfurt, we took a bus to Bonn, where we meet our host families. The jetlag was terrible and the only thing that I wanted to do was sleep. The following day, we had a lunch meeting and had an orientation tour with one of the student workers.
On Friday, we had to take care of our visa documents because of the length of our program. After lunch, we went to Mayschoss to have a wine tasting and hike. The weather was terrible as it was cold and rainy.

On Saturday, we went to Poppelsdorf to meet up and then went on a hike in the mountains in around the area. It was very exhausting and the ground was muddy because of the weather. It was an interesting experience, but it wouldn’t be something that I would do by choice.
