We are here!

Posted are pictures of Virginia on the plane (looking bright eyed and bushy tailed), Barbara using her dramatic origami skills on the US $1 bill and pictures of the home I am staying in (looks like a fairy tale house!)
hello everyone...
So I made it through customs and they let me into Germany. The flight left JFK at about 11pm and we touched down in Frankfurt Germany at 11:30am. Took a small layover in Frankfurt and then one hour later we were being met at the picturesque Bremen airport by no less than 5 Rotarians!

Super nice all of them...they arranged a small room for us and we chatted for ten minutes and then off to the host family. Lisa, Barbara and I are being hosted by Gisela and Richard von Bousse (in case you are wondering that is a noble name in Germany) in the beautiful town of Sandkrug (about 30 minutes from Bremen). I feel really wecolmed into their home already ...but I still miss you Mom and Dad :) I am staying in their sons room and all I can think of is what if he comes home, like in the movies and sees ME in the room :)

I am reminded of the first time I saw a naked boy that wasn't related to me. 1999, 15 years old, Peter in Germany walking to the bathroom in his BVDs...(sigh) what a great Germany trip :)

Much love to all...
