Day 0 - Delegation Arrives in Lindau

June 25, 2000 - Arrival in Lindau There were some tense moments and nervous travelers as we departed Washington, D.C. There was the possibility that the flight to New York was going to be canceled and a chance of missing our connection to Germany, but everything finally worked out, and we managed to get everyone to Lindau. As you can see from the photos below, the students had no difficulty in adjusting to the trip.

As with any group tour, there is the initial confusion of collecting baggage and finding your way to the hotel.

Daily breakfast meeting with students at the Bodensee Hotel to review the schedule for the day, share information on how to exchange currency, do laundry, and how to find the best restaurants.

This is the Hotel Friehof where some of the students are staying.		Students gather on Maximilian Strasse in the heart of Lindau's historic old city.
