WHS - WG Exchange

Tuesday found us in Innsbruck Austria.

Friday took us up once again on a mountain peak, where we then had a nice hike down. This weekend the students will be spending time with their host families.

Apparently my posts from earlier in the week didn’t show up.
The last few days have been quite busy. We’ve been active in the classrooms working with the students and exploring the area.

Today the students were excited to travel to Garmisch-Partenkirchen to meet up with the friends and host families. It was wonderful to see their warm welcome as we got off the train.

Today was jam packed. We began with a tour of the Lenbachhaus, one of Munich’s fantastic art museums. Next we had lunch in Munich’s largest Biergarten. After lunch we had a tour of Schloß Nymphenburg, the summer residence of the Bavarian royal family. Finally we headed to the Englisch Garten to explore the ground and have dinner.

Today we visited Dachau, not a place one wants to post pictures of. We followed that up with a visit to the White Rose Foundation at the University of Munich. Here’s a few random photos of our day.

Today we had a tour of Munich’s Olympic Park (1972 Summer Games) and BMW Welt. Our tour was lead by Dr. Christoph Engels. We will see him again on Thursday for a tour through one of Munich’s well regarded art museums.

Es it's so weit.......
