Munich

Josie had signed up at the beginning of the school year for some Theater Group called ISTA (International Student Theater Assoc) There wasn't much info about it but all we knew was that in May she would be going to Munich with a handful of other JFK students. 

She was really looking forward to this and when the time came she was nervous and excited in all the right amounts.  Two of her friends, Maya and Meredith were also going and those three would be the only 6th graders.  The rest of the group were in grades 7 and above. 

The night before the trip, her friend Meredith spent the night and in the morning Maya and her mom, Beth and I all headed out to the main train station in Berlin where they would catch a fast speed (ICE) train to Munich.  She

and her friends were giddy with excitement while still trying to be "grown up" 6th graders.
We had to say goodbye at the top of the platform and then she was off. 
She kept in touch with nightly text or phone
calls and had a great time with her friends.
