It wasn't all automobile factories and museums while in Germany



Hi folks -- the numerous posts previously entered suggested a near death march across Germany as our Study Abroad Program visited many museums and auto plants. While it was strenuous at times, we also had some fun -- even me! One highlight was a night at the Karaoke Bar on the Ring in Leipzig, where student George Lescher and myself brought down the house with a version of Eric Burdon's "The House of the Rising Sun." I just wanted to teach the East Germans something about New Orleans. It was a great night to say the least. Many thanks to University of Leipzig graduate and program mentor Ulricke Eckhardt for supplying the photos. Interestingly enough, Ulricke rarely went to bed after 11 p.m. before the American students arrived. Toward the end of our stay she wanted to go out virtually every evening! Again, we ended up corrupting the morals and habits of a fine German student.
