We Have Arrived In Norden! Vielen Dank und Bis Bald Willhelmshaven!

We had a wonderful time in Willhelmshaven.  Alex and I stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Nietiedt, who own Firmengruppe Nietiedt, an international scaffolding and painting company.  I was amazed by some of their work.  Marble walls was one of my favorites.  Thank you much to the Nietiedt family.

While in Willhelmshaven we visited the Marine Museum and entered a submarine that was once used in battle, walked the beach, shopped, visited the container terminal, and had an exclusive tour of the new coal power plant that is under construction.  Germans are VERY environmentally conscious and plan to shut down all nuclear power within the next 10 years.  You see many many windmills and solar panels as you drive down the road. This is their form of electricity and heating.  Below you will see a picture of us at the power plant. 







  



Also during our stay we gave a short presentation at the District Conference.  See our picture below.

We have had a great time thus far.  The program is tiring and extremely fast paced.  Even though we are seeing the history of the town we are still working......I PROMISE:)  I personally have had wonderful vocational days in private PT practices.  Even though physical therapy is practiced the same here in Germany it has been wonderful to make new contacts internationally.

Lastly, we girls had to take some time for ourselves, the first since we have arrived, and had a blast:)  

We are now in Norden and started our trip with a tour of the city.  It's beautiful!!  Followed by a trip to Kunsthalle (fine arts museum).  Tomorrow we will venture out to the island of Norderney.  Very Exciting!!!
Tschuss!  Angie
