These past few days have been incredible, the people are interesting, the culture is amazing and the knowledge i am learning is mind blowing, lol. Sorry to those who are following: i have not been good at keeping up with the blog; but i am doing the best. Bremerhaven was a great place to start this exchange, but now we are in Emden, still along the coast west of Bremerhaven 2 hours. We are arrived Friday, had a nice lunch at a local hotel restuarant and met our host families for this stay in Emden. The hospitality is great, our families makes us feel welcomed.
Today we were on top of the world! We started with a local tour of the city and had lunch at another restuarant along the coast - the schnitzel was grand! After a nice hardy lunch we climbed 135 meter wind turbine. ( the tallest wind turbine in the world!) it was a hard climb, never thought i would be so tired from climbing a ladder - but it is a work out. These turbines are produced locally and generate energy for local inhabitants and businesses. One wind turbine can produce enough power for 5,000 homes! There are 70 wind turbines in Emden - There a plants here shipping wind turbines all over the world. We will post pictures shortly. (my battery is dead and my charger has stopped working, so i can not use my camera) my team will post up some pictures.
Hello to everyone back at home, Goodnight and stay intouch.
