Sorry, if I’m a little behind with my posts. For the last week, we’ve been in Bonn at the University. Things are going well and we’ve settled in rather nicely. We fit in about as much as everybody else, which isn’t saying much. I don’t know if I’ve ever bin in a company of people from such a variety of different languages. We have students from almost every part of the world! It truly is an amazing experience. I think we all feel about as equally out of place. Because we all come from such varied walks-of-life, the only connections we have is the thin thread of German language which we all know. Sometimes it’s very funny trying to communicate with others. Both parties try to explain something to the other but eventually both stand there with a quizzical look on their face, not quite sure what the other was trying to say. In such a case, everybody just has a good laugh and you try again! Oh well, laughter is a great communicator that spans all cultures and languages.

I’ll try to post the last two days of our trip at some other time. I’m rather busy at the time, so that might be a great incentive for me to keep my posts shorter. I apologize if they are lengthy, but we’ve really experience so much on this trip that I’m really not even scratching the surface.

Take care all you at home.  Thinking of you all as you start the harvest!
