Arrival in Bietigheim-Bissingen

Today's arrival in Bietigheim marked the beginning of the fourth tour in which I have participated. As Mr. Miller wrote prior to departure, one of the things I enjoy the most about this exchange is having the chance to observe others who are experiencing the warmth of this country and the people for the first time.















Host families waiting for our students as we arrive in Bietigheim.















Mr. Glenn Williams (new to our District 99 Music Faculty since the last exchange), is greeted and welcomed by Musikschule Director Mr. Reimund Schiffer. Mr. Williams has traveled internationally prior to this trip, but it is his first day in Germany.
















Emma S. and Caroline H. meet their host family, who hold signs with their names and a welcome message.
