A Terrific Time So Far

It has been an amazing trip. I apologize for not keeping up - we are on a very busy schedule. I will post some pictures as soon as I can get near some wireless internet.


For me, it was a great vocational day last week. I spent the day touring the Lloyd-Verft shipyard where I was able to tour the work being done on the PolarStern and observe the world famous LLoyd-Verft ship lengthening process. I learned much about German engineering, quality and labour laws - also how Germany is able to stay competitive with much different labour laws and rules governing hours of operation.

The tour of Bremen was truly amazing - a great chance to see some truly historic buildings and mingle with German people and tourists alike.

A grand bbq at the President´s house just outside Bremerhaven - great food, great friends and lots of fun! It was our first chance to complete our presentation in German. Our hosts were kind enough not to laugh - or cry.

After that has been the move to Emden - possibly one of the greenest cities in the world. We have done so much here already and created so many new memories. I think I´ll need more time. Tschuss for now
