in Wiesbaden and the neighborhood by bus, train, ship, street car, cable
car. We prepare for study trips - how to use the Euro, which is
the money Germany is using now. We learn about traffic safety and compare  different
life styles and cultures. We
learn about castles.....history dating back to Medieval times.
