Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday - We spent the day on the island of Borkum. The weather was less than ideal - about 60 and raining. We spent the first two hours on a Wattwanderung with a guide the students dubbed Hagrid. You can almost see him behind Dan below. We found crabs, worms, mussels, and many plants to taste. (Really . . . it was like a salty salad bar.) Then there was time for beach and swimming but it was a little cold.




Wednesday - We met at school and didn't go to class. It was the last school day here. We instead had a tour and lecture about Emden and its history. We saw much including a graveyard, the city tower, the harbor, and a bunker. We went to the Bunker museum and learned about 1925-1949 in Emden. There was much to think about. Then we had lunch and went with our hosts on a paddle boat ride.



Hard to believe that there are only two more days left in Emden.
