The weather continues to be less than stellar here in Bielefeld.  On Sunday it rained the entire day and the temperature hovered around 52 degrees.  Despite the weather students are still enjoying themselves, although pangs of homesickness are starting to surface.  Who would have ever thought that someone could miss boring old Goshen!!  Emma went to Hamburg with her host family on Saturday and Alex and Lauren and the Graves family went with Alex’s host family to see the Hermannsdenkmal and the Externsteine outside of Bielefeld.  This evening was the end of the school year concert at our partner school, the Max-Planck-Gymnasium.  It showcased groups from grade 5 to grade 13 and included an orchestra, several choirs, a jazz band and a pop band.  It was also fun to see Bielefeld students at the concert who have visited GHS during the past two years.
