The Team is Complete!!
Today is the day we gather all the “lost sheep” together and start heading to the first real overnight. Our first group came into Frankfurt without any trouble. Since we have to wait till the next (and last) group comes in at 1250, we came back to the hotel to relax a bit and have […]
