Martina

We first met Martina in 1996 when she was a Rotary exchange student from Germany. This was our very first experience of international culture. Martina lived with us for the last half of the school year in 1996 when she was 17. Since then Julie and I have hosted several more exchange students in the late 90's, when we lived in Wenatchee Washington USA. We had no idea at the time how blessed we would be with life-long international friendships that we will always have. Martina has visited us several times, including when we lived in Arizona. In 1997, her name was the very first entry in the guest register at our Lake Chelan cabin. Now only a 1 hour flight away, Martina and Adrian paid us a wonderful visit for the weekend at our Guildford UK home. Martina, now 31 years old is a math and physics teacher in Karlsruhe Germany. Her friend Adrian is British and works as a biologist also in Germany. They are having fun touring England and Adrian's old stompin grounds. We are very lucky to know these two wonderful people and can't wait for the invite to visit them....
