Friday, August 28, 2009, was a busy day. I got to school a little early and started really cleaning the classroom and organizing tons of stuff. At lunch time Delome my mentor teacher took us to the Health Food store so we could see what they had. Then we were back to work for a few more hours. By the time 3pm rolled around we still has tons to do but the classroom looked like it was just about ready for kids, so I said I would come in this weekend and finish everything up. And on that note we took off to tour the city of Bamberg.
My mentor teacher and her husband Helmut were going to be our tour guides. Delome and Helmut have been together for years. Delome originally came to Germany with the intentions of staying to teach on post for two years, but the she met Helmut a nice fun German man and it was love at first sight. Delome has stayed here ever since. This is her 37th year here and at the Bamberg Elementary school. Helmut was raised in Bamberg and knows A LOT about this town. The two of them are artist and are very into art and the history of the artist. Please check out the pictures to see parts of our Bamberg tour. It was nice to finally get off post for more than 15 minutes, I feel in love with downtown Bamberg instantly it is a very beautiful area full of history. To end our lovely tour they took Cherise and I to their favorite café for Kookin (cake ) and cappuccinos, then they showed us where to catch the bus back to post and made sure to tell us exactly what bus to get on!
Back to post we went. We got back around 730ish then we stopped by the apartment to change and went back to the school. We were working in our classrooms until 1130pm it was a long day. Well that is what has been going on here! I hope you have enjoyed another wonderful blog. You guys can email me at Kylarae@gmail.com I would love to hear from everyone!
XOXO
