Wow! What a busy time.
Today we are off to Helgoland by catamaran. Hoping to get some great pictures.
Yesterday was great tour of Jever Brewery - one of the oldest breweries in Germany. It was followed by a paper recycling facility tour. That was really informative and interesting. I don`t think any of us had any idea about paper recycling - the scope, the volume and values. Did you know that most of our recycled paper is shipped from N. America, processed in Europe and shipped back?
The day before was a great tour of the Airbus facility. It was really interesting to learn how they are able to take parts manufactured in 5 different countries, ship them to a central point, put them together and have them work! We weren`t allowed to see the new production facility for the new 380, but we did get to see one sitting on the ramp. I think we must have really made an impact because Emirates Air just ordered another 32 Airbus 380s - for a paltry $9B euros! Wow!
Sunday was the move day and settling in with our new host families. Fred and I are sharing a place with a retired vetranarian (sp?). He`s a great guy. On of first day we were able to see a colt only 14 hours old!
Gotta run, don`t want to miss the boat!
