We were told to meet infront of our dorms Sunday morning at 9:30 for an orientation. The bus picked us up, but we were not really ready to spend the whole day touring the city. We saw some beautiful churches and landmarks. I didn't post the pics, I figured they may be good on a regular school day post. We did have a class orientation first thing and then a lunch. After which we headed on a foot tour of the city. About 3:30 -which makes several hours of walking, we got onto a ferry that took us up the ford (not sure how to spell it in english sounds: feeyord) to a beach called Shilksee. Happens to be the same beach we went to the day before- only it was getting cloudy and we weren't dressed for it. The timing was perfect for a nap. The boys: Michael, Tom and Vance dozed while Jennifer and I goofed off with my camera. I haven't been much of a sleeper so far. There's too much to see!
After a quick tour of the pier and the sailing yachts belonging to the school, we were freed for an hour or so to walk around or swim. Kiel hosts a huge sailing week every year. There are sailboats everywhere in the water, so many the ferry was dodging them.
After another quick bus ride, we were suprised by a grand feast at a rented mansion. This place was huge!!!!!! The picture doesn't even do it justice!!!!! At least we were fed with good german food all day long!! Go free food!
