stevenpiziks | School Day

The first day after the party (Friday) was a school day, and the students followed their partners through their schedules. We learned that students went swimming in gym class, to the park for a biology lesson, and watched a judo demonstration. As always, they were impressed by the food in the cafeteria, which is prepared and served by parent volunteers and is more like a home-cooked supper than what Americans think of as a school lunch.

KL and I usually pop out to Esslingen proper for coffee and to plan upcoming events or solve problems. I always love coming to European cities, myself. The architecture, the narrow streets, the cobblestones, the wide variety of shops, the food, the street markets—every bit of it is wonderful.

In the afternoon, we met with the students, where they reported what they had done that day, with a certain amount of excitement and interest.

That evening, I was wiped!
