Arrival in Eisenach

Monday, June 30, 2008

Our group met for the first time at the welcoming reception at the Hotel Schlosshotel. We enjoyed coffee and apple cake, met each other for the first time, and then reconvened shortly thereafter for dinner.

We were fortunate to arrive in Germany on the night of the big European Cup game between Germany and Spain! Unfortunately (for some of us), Germany lost 0-1. Being that we were in Germany, most of us cheered for the German team.
