Day 11: Our Last Day in Weiden

Today was our last day in Germany with our families and at school. 

Chemistry class

We went to class until 10, then went to our meeting room. Mrs. Dills presented us with the gift of a coffee mug and Döners for everyone to eat. The time went fast, and before we knew it, it was time to load our suitcases on the bus and say our final goodbyes. Almost everyone cried.  

Before the group left, everyone had an opportunity to buy a school sweatshirt.

Last group photo in Germany - next one will be in October when the Germans come to Saxonburg.  

The German students and American students filled out evaluation sheets for the trip. 

 Mrs. Dill presented every American student with a Weiden mug and a hug goodbye.  

  

The group thanks Jasmine, Eva, and Mrs. Dill for all the hard-work they put into this program.

A few of the students were asked to be interviewed by a German newspaper reporter.

The group's last meal together with their German partners in Germany.  Mrs. Dill treated us all with Döners ( A Turkish sandwich that is similiar to our Gyro).

We are going to miss each other a lot, but we can't wait until October to see everyone again. After our bus pulled away, it took about 2 hours to get to our hotel, The Holiday Inn Express. We all decided to have one last Bavarian meal before returning to America. After leaving our families today, most of us are very anxious to get home. Tomorrow our flight leaves Munich around 7 am . Next stop: ICELAND!  (Shawna Henkel and Katie Stivason)
