Day 18: June 24

We started off our day by going through one hour of school. I had the pleasure of sitting through a religion class with two buddies. After the class ended the American students all met outside to learn about the sport of handball. The German PE coach met us outside and taught us some warmups and rules of the game. We eventually began playing some points and once we got the hang of it we had a blast! It was so fun that we continued to play soccer after the given time had ended.

We next walked with Frau Hiller to the Rathaus (Town hall). We got to meet with the assistant mayor and learn some more about the German culture. 

We then split up with our exchange partners. Me and a couple other GAPP students met up at the public pool and went for a nice swim. We also went to eat at a German restaurant where we sat to eat and talk for hours. So much fun!

One thing that really touched them is that they were given matching yellow lunch boxes by their host families, which made them extremely emotional every time they saw them in their backpacks. Other people weren’t so sad, but still felt like they would miss their host families, like Hunter, who said leaving was bittersweet. I was extremely saddened that I had to leave Felix and his friends, but ...
