HILDESHEIM

Not only was I ecstatic when I was accepted into Germany, but I was also very excited when I learned that I will be living in Hildesheim, a beautiful village located in the Lower Saxony region, about 30 minutes from Hannover. It has a population of 110,000 people, and is full of beautiful, traditional architecture.

This is Downtown Hildesheim.

The most recent news to me was my host families. I know of the first two families, the Schiedecks, and the Tebbenjohanns. Both families have high school aged children, which will be very helpful in the friend-making process.

Here is a picture of the Tebbenjohanns:
