We had a fun meeting last night. We spent some time putting names to faces and then learned about Heidelberg and Luxembourg. We also learned the rules of group metro travel. 1)Figure out where we are going and which stop is ours before we get on. 2)Get on as a group and with a group this big it means get on fast. Use 2 cars if necessary and help your buddies get on with you. 3)Pay attention! Count down to our stop watch for it. 4)Jump off, move away from the train and then wait on the platform for roll call. 5)If you miss our stop get off at the next stop and wait on the platform so you can be seen. One of the chaperones will come for you to get you back with the group.
Our final lesson was group photos. These are important. They are posted on the blog so your parents can see that you are still with us and having fun. Tips for a good picture... Tall people in back, scrunch together, make levels and make sure no one is in front of your face. If you can't see me the camera can't see you. Here is our first attempt - not bad but needs to be balanced left to right just a little. The photographer also needs to pay better attention to things in the foreground and background. Remember - left click to enlarge, right click to download. See you in April!
