Viking Today... 6/24

Today is a tough update. There's only a single line in the itinerary:
8.00 p.m CONCERT in the Landesakadamie


From what I've been able to find, a Landesakadamie is a high school.

Roger says they'll be getting a greeting by the Mayor of Schlitz. Wikipedia says that'd be Hans-Jürgen Schäfer. I think it's sort of funny that the German word for "mayor" is "Bürgermeister"

If you've looked around on your own, you'll know it's really hard to find good info about the town of Schlitz amid all the hits to Schlitz beer!

Schlitz Street
Captioned as Schlitz Town Hall

Let the Java load up and there's some neat 360 panoramas of Schlitz here:
Summer
Winter
Autumn in the country
Christmas

Has anyone gotten any mail yet?

Mary Jo got a packet today, and has reposted things locally so you should be getting letters SOON. I don't know if all boys sent letters in the group packet or not.

I was with Mary Jo when the packet came so I already have our letter from Riley. It was written on Day 5 of tour.

He says he's taken a lot of picture and is keeping up on his journal. He says, "the scenery is beautiful, lots of windmills." He said they signed 250 more posters and (I'm assuming about the concert in Strehla) that "the crowd loved us. Seriously, they went crazy!"
