Munich April 16

Ahhh, so I've seen footage of people stranded in airports, etc..., now I'm experiencing it first hand! I am going to try to upload a video of Munich airport that I just took moments ago. We (9 American teachers) have been waiting in a line for 4 hours to get rebooked on tomorrow's flight to Moscow. This is the only functioning airport in Germany right now and rumor has it that it will be shutting down at 8:00 tonight. Had a great flight here though! It was an additional two hours long (10 hours instead of 8) because we went directly across the Atlantic, through Spain and Southern France, to Southern Germany. Typically, this flight would go further north, closer to Iceland, but I don't need to explain why that didn't happen. This was a Lufthansa, German airline. One has to appreciate the German fortitude to go through with the flight! Also, three of us were on standby and didn't get on the flight until the very last minute. I have always dreamed of being in the Amazing Race and now I feel like I'm living it. Okay, I'm going to try to post my little video...
