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!

Day 3: Sustainability in and around Freiburg

We accomplished the mission today despite the wet weather...unfortunately, we were unable to ride the bicycles as planned because of this.  None the less, we persevered and saw all items that were part of the technical program. 

Day 2: Freiburg, Emmendingen, und Freiamt

We took them to see wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, and biogas farms...it was a tricky weather day that even brought thunderstorms...all are well and by the first picture you can see—they are a bit worn out!
