Our Trip To The States

Hello Everyone!

Finally, we arrived at W&J College! Our Journey was very long and had some complications. But let us start from the beginning:

Departure from Frankfurt to Washington DC was on Friday the 26th. Most of us met before to share a car or just to have companion on the way to Frankfurt Airport.

The whole group has met in Berlin in the beginning of June. That’s why we knew each other already. We also met the Virginia Tech group at our gate, since they flew to Washington DC with us.

The flight itself was very smooth, but we had some complications at the border control. One of us had to go to a separate immigration check which delayed our bus ride to W&J for about 2 hours. After we went to our bus and grabbed burritos at Chipotle, we were very tired. Most of us slept the 4.5 hour ride. But some of us underestimated how much Americans love their Air Conditions! It was very cold in the bus and even with a sweater, some were freezing. But the bus driver was very kind and shut it off for us. We arrived at our dorm in the late evening and were very tired. So we went straight to bed.

The first full day was relaxed. But you will read about that with the next post!

Who Are We?
