Last week during our Connexxion exchange week with American students from Union Univ., we participated in and hosted diversified activities, including... watching the World Cup on a large screen at my church, when Germany beat Poland (I'm pictured in my NEW Germany shirt, with 4 new friends from Albania).Our group, Connexxion, was responsible for buying and selling the hotdogs & baked beans (giving the evening an American touch)... and my church was selling the German beer (giving it, of course, a quite German flair! Hmmm...).
We took the students up to a castle one afternoon with spectacular views of the gorgeous countryside ... 
(Blake, Kasey & Andrew on the roof!)
We just "had" to teach the group about typical culture, & have coffee and cake in the afternoon! Served to us by a waitress wearing a cool outfit from the Middle Ages, no less!
Games night at an outdoor Cafe-- playing chess, rummy, or a German version of Yatzee called "Kniffel" (Stefan playing Carola w/ Kai in the background).
Well, stick around Germany long and you'll realize that Cafe life is pretty much the "IN" thing-- Julie (pictured below, rt.) organizes 20 student group exchanges per year. 
She will be in Severina & Sven- Petter's wedding in Norway later this summer (I'm going, too!).
