AFS sends Linda to Germany. . . Traveling from New York to Frankfurt, Germany, I was with 110 German-bound AFSers and another 90 going to other countries in Europe. Arriving in Frankfurt, the American students went to a Youth Hostel, once an old castle in Russlesheim, a suburb of Frankfurt. We were there a week for orientation on customs and language. My second week was Spent getting acquainted with my German family; Inge, fifteen, and her mother, father, and grand- mother in Machtolsheim, a southern farming village of 1, 120 people. Machtolsheim is twenty miles from Ulm, the city with the highest church steeple in the world. In June, we attended school in the next village. During August, I toured old castles and churches. We took a week long trip into Austria and Switzerland, climbing five mountains, seeing cows and sheep and even find- ing Edelweiss, the famous flower of the Swiss Alp. The last week was spent in the north harbor city of Bremen. Reunited with American AFS -ers for deorientation and staying with another German family. We took a boat ride on the Weser River, had a reception at the city hall, and attended a Parliament meeting where we questioned repre- sentatives. My last day in Germany came, going by train to Frankfurt, and on to my flight for home--USA. I will always appreciate this experience in Germany, for it opened up my life not only to other people and my surroundings, but to myself.
