On our flight home from Frankfurt to San Francisco (12 hour flight)
This morning was certainly the earliest of all of our days! We got up at 4am and left the hostel by 4:30am. Lucky for us, it was not raining very hard. Although the U-Bahn was just outside the door, it was more efficient for us to walk 5 blocks to our bus stop (Bus 100 to Berlin Tegel). We got in line for our flight and I made sure all students made it through the security point and we were ready to board our first flight from Berlin to Frankfurt with Lufthansa. The flight was on time and we were all relaxed (aka tired as heck).
We arrived in Frankfurt and we boarded the enormous jet (three seats in on each side, five in the middle, and an upstairs) to make our way to San Francisco. The flight was long, but we had our own personal televisions with movies, shows, games, and radio. We all felt very fancy. Though it was very sad to leave Germany, we were all ready to be back at home in Portland, Oregon.
After a 12-hour flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco, we landed and had about 90 minutes to get to our connecting flight to Portland. We had another short ordeal with Gunnar's flight, but after a very kind and helpful ticket agent worked with me, Gunnar and I ran through the airport to meet up with the rest of the group. To our pleasant surprise, our flight was delayed for an another hour. If you see the link to today's photos, you will see that Sam, Jess, and Gunnar had a good time with our camera (very funny) during our layover in San Francisco.
As soon as we got off the plane in Portland, all students reunited with their eager families and we parted our ways. The adventures in our GAPP exchange came to an awesome and sweet ending.

What happens when the teacher leaves the camera in the hands of the students! Ha! We are almost home! Just waiting for our flight from San Francisco to Portland.
