Ruhrtour

This past weekend I got to meet all the exchange students from district 1900!! It was in Hagen, about 2 hours away. I loved meeting everyone from all over the world and exchanging pins and business cards. Everyone became close so quickly and now I am so excited for Deutschlandtour! We went to a mining museum and Villa Hugel, a really pretty mansion. The next day we met our host families in a nearby town for an informational meeting and to present ourselves from our country by doing a performance. Our group pretended to play American football, dance to the cotton eyed joe, and say the pledge of allegiance. We all slept in the auditorium of a school but South Americans never sleep so neither did I and now I'm exhausted and sick. But completely worth the experience :)
