Here is a map of the areas where we will be traveling.  We are landing in Luxembourg on  July 25th, 2011.  We'll spend the night there and begin our travels in Germany the next morning.  Our first stop will be in Frankfurt!  Can't wait to get started!







What the colors of the German Flag mean:

Black - Determination

Red - hardiness, bravery, strength & valour

Gold/yellow - a symbol of generosity

Laptop Luxury Courtesy of Fund for Teachers!

Jodie and I have spent half of our money from Fund for Teachers and went to get the most significant item yet:  our laptop so that we can blog and skype with our teaching staff and interested students when we are in Germany!  We have been practicing with Skype and so far our cats have had a great time waving their little paws at each other!  We are about 2 months away from one of the biggest learning adventures of our lives!
