Yesterday we finally could welcome the Houstonian winners of the student competition “Leipzig meets Houston” we had been waiting for so long. Both our winners and our guests were very excited to finally meet each other, especially as the train from Frankfurt to Leipzig was on time, quite unusual. 😉

In the following two weeks the winners from Houston are going to live with their host families, they’ll go to school together and of course they are going to see a loooot of Leipzig.

Tomorrow we are going to the opera – “Carmina Burana”. We’ll keep you posted and share our impressions with you.

In the picture: Randy (HOU), Sarah and her father (LE), Julia (LE), Eric (HOU), Melanie’s father, Melanie (LE), Jenny (HOU) and Melanie’s mother. Susanne, our third winner couldn’t make it yesterday, she‘ll join us tomorrow.

Have a great weekend,

Lisa
