Today was a full day for our group. We began with breakfast at the hotel in Freiburg. Then we completed our second service project at a local cemetary. The students broke up into groups. Two groups cleaned the "floor" of the cemetary by gathering the mowed grass and taking it to a certain area while the third group cleaned the stone wall of the cemetary. While working, a German lady who worked in the States for a while and knew English stopped some of our students to talk with them. She thanked them for all that they were doing. The kids enjoyed chatting with her and you could really see the appreciation in the lady's face and words.
Then it was off to Heidelberg. It was quite a long drive. We stopped in a small village for lunch on the way. Homemade pasta with carmelized onions and grated cheese on top.
Once we arrived in Heidelburg, we went to a birds of prey show. It was very interesting. We got to see how owls, different breeds of falcoms, and a baby bald eagle were trained.
Dinner was in the center of Heidelberg and I must say was very good. At least I thought so. We had a typical german meal of Flammkuchen. It was almost a tortilla like pizza, but much better!
Tomorrow - Home Stays!
