Wow! Trying to figure out how to get in and write with German language directions is a bit of a challenge. But I think I have done it. Well, who would have thought that in such a modern and technically advanced country we would have had trouble finding WiFi, but that has been our problem so this is my first chance to write something. The Rotarians have been too fabulous for words. What warm and fun hosts. They have filled our days with interesting and exciting visits: the North German Radio/TV station, Christian-Albrechts University in Keil, the Geomar undersea research lab, a terrific concert and organ demonstration at the St Nikolai Church, a tour of the locks of the  Keil Canal, a fascinating talk about German Naval history at the Naval Memorial in Laboe, a tour of the Keil City Hall where we met the Lord Mayor, a small airplane flight over Keil, and much more. We have been fed with spargle, herring, strawberries, worst, und lots of excellent Deutches bier. Is gut! Today we were transported to Hosum and new hosts, and tomorrow we go to Amrum to run in a race. I'll try to write more soon, and include some pictures.
