Whew! What a way to start! We began the day learning about Switzerland when Peter Weber presented a slideshow at the Hotel Einstein. From there, we went to our individual vocational visits. Vanessa and Kelly went to an elementary school English lesson while Kiana and Marina went to an herbal pharmacy. For lunch, we gave our first presentation to the St. Gallen Freudenberg club in German. We were the first group in 8 years to actually do it in German! They served us rabbit and veal....Thumper and Bessie. AND, eat your heart out AZ Rotarians, they serve wine at their meetings! In the afternoon, we saw the most beautiful baroque library at the monastery. It is renowned for its beauty and ancient books written by the monks. Then we went to the St. Gallen Cathedral where we were given a behind the scenes tour of the clock towers; complete with a stroll atop the 10 story cathedral. Best view in town! In the late afternoon, we went to the Pestilozzi Orphange and learned about their global effort to help disadvantaged children. We're finishing up with having a brew at an outdoor bistro on a cobblestone street.
Wow, now look at all of you! See, learning how to present in german will go very long way. I am very proud of all of you and will follow your progress.
