December 5th - Decemer 11th
December 5th! Our arrival to Germany. I'm writing this 2 1/2 years later, so pardon the missing chunks of the timeline... I remember the feeling of arriving so vividly! I was nervous, but in a good way. Excited! For once my anxiety was minimal, because I was so ready for this change. Our sponsor (Drews co-workers from Sembach) picked us up from the airport, they were so welcoming! They had one van for our copious amounts of luggage, and another van for The Arconti 5 (thats us!). I remember seeing all of the "Ausfahrt" signs, I thought they were arrows leading us to a city. 30 minutes later I was still seeing "Ausfahrt" signs, but I was far too tired to figure it out. Hey, it was 1am EST time! An hour later we arrived to our fully furnished TLA in Enkenbach-Alsenborn. Anyway, "Ausfahrt" is just German for exit, which I'm sure you figured out way quicker than me! Nolan and Pierce started at Sembach Elementary December 10th, which was a Friday.....
