Its morning, just hangin' around. Maggie didn't call in the middle of the night, because she had a fun time I guess on her sleepover with her friend. We have a brithday party today at 2.

Our New "Unit" in School

We have been working on the unit, "Media", but we just changed to a new unit, "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle". We have been starting on working on a new recycling program in school.  DIS (Dresden International School), has all trash cans in the school. They have a recycling bin outside, but none inside that would transfer to the one outside. We are in the progress of making bins and putting them in each classroom. I wrote the letter to the directer of the school so she would accept our ideas in the school. I did along with a few other kids as well.

Update in Germany on March 25th, 2011

I am waiting for breakfast to be done, on this morning, which is a Friday morning, here in Germany. After school, Maggie will be going on a sleepover with her best friend a grade above of her, "Mali". That's the German name, but the English/American name is "Molly". The sleepover is lasting just for one night. It will "Maggie-Free", in the house tonight, (That's how I like to call it!) so Mom and Me are going to this old Dresden tram restaurant. We going to try to get there early, so we can sit in the old "6 Nidersedlitz" tram! Dad is still in US, in NY doing stuff. For example he is doing more interview stuff, getting stuff in NY/USA that you can't but in Germany/Dresden.

London Underground was easy transportation. Have a look on the journey planner. Our station when we stayed there was "Paddington".

Update for 3/8/2011

It's morning, again right now in, Germany. Deustchland which is Germany in German. I'm just thinking about how close we are to moving back to US, and some planning I want to do: I am going to be making a tram collage of Dresden's Transportation, including Dresden Buses, Dresden Trains, Dresden Trams, Dresden Sky Train, and Dresden's On Ground Train. We will also include some of the tram stop signs, the S-Bahn Stations, The Time-Teller things, The Ticket Machines, The Ticket Validaters, The Tram Stop Light, etc. We have to pack all over again, like we did going from US to Deushland (Germany in German). We have to pack all of our things up, Thanks to Aunt Mari and Grandma, who helped us in US. It well be a much more Challenging level, because no one well be with us, to help us, etc. Another thing we might have to do is pack for what we well do on the airplane, its fun when your on a 2 to 4 hour airplane, but our ride from Frankfurt, Germany (I think its thant city), wel

Update for 3/7/2011

Today, (Well, its just morning in Germany right now) I got up, so sleepy, because, well, its just when the weekends are over. Mom just got done signing a sheet, because I'm going on a trip to the Wasserwerk. Wasserwerk in English is Water Cleaning House. We are taking a tram there. I think it is the #4 Laubgast. Sorry, this was a quick post! I have to go to school now!

In Paris, France

We are in Paris, France right now. From Dresden, we took a 2-hour bus all the way to the capital of Germany, 'Berlin'. From Berlin, we flew to Paris, France. It was about a 2 and a half hour ride. We arrived into Paris, France. Got our luggage. We left on the subway, but one thing that very weird. We never went into customs/passport check.  We just got on the RER #C to 'Gare Du Nord', and took the M#5 Metro (Subway in French) going toward Place d' Italian, and got off at Oberrkamf, our hotel's metro stop. We checked-in at our hotel, and then had Pizza for Dinner.  We went to bed, after finding ants under our bed and in the bathroom. It stinked because Mom just got done spraying Bug Spray around the hotelroom, which she had rented from the hotel's front desk. Paris was a very interesting city, my 2 favorite things I liked it Paris, Well you probaly know the first one, which was the Metros and Buses. #2 Favorite Thing: The Eiffel Tower!  We went to the top!
