Day 11: Therme-Erding — Geothermal Energy

The amazing engineering feat that is Therme-Erding was experienced by the students yesterday...millions of gallons of geothermallly warmed water to relax in and around.  A great day was had indeed!

Day 10: TUM-IPP

Today, we spent the morning and lunch at the University of Munich learning about fusion reactors in the Mac Planck Institute for Plasma Physics!  Many good questions were asked and answered...then, free half day had some going to Allianz to see the soccer stadium, Dachau concentration camp, and Church Tours.  

Day 9: BMW Day

Today, visits were made to the BMW museum, up the Olympic Tower and then to BMW Recycling/Dismantling facility.  The weather was outstanding!

Day 8: Off to Munich...

We had a very eventful day traveling to Munich with a stopover in Ulm.  The trains were changed before and as we were traveling.  None the less, all is well and they were able to climb the Ulm church tower (tallest in the world) and have a walking tour of Munich.  They will sleep well th.is evening!

Days 6 and 7: Stuttgart

We enjoyed the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums yesterday and all were given a free day today to explore museums and do laundry...we ar off to Munich tomorrow...

Day 5: Freiburg to Stuttgart

We had a phenomenal time at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy...and a great trip by train to Stuttgart...we have some tired campers...but they caught some naps on the train and rallied for a small tour of the area we are living...they even know where to go do laundry!

Day 4: Cultural day! Strasbourg, France

Today was a cultural day spent in Strasbourg, France.  The trip there was easy...the time there was phenomenal - especially with dry weather!  The trip back was exciting as our scheduled bus was moved back a few hours, which left us doubting its eventual departure...so, we were able to take a team and some trains to get back to Freiburg safe and sound!
