Although Gamma is a quiet child, the house is noticeably emptier without her.  And, I can&#8217;t read the text on the Stadthagen web page, since my translator is there, rather than here.<\/p>\n<p>I was an exchange student for a summer myself at about her age, and I know that it will be a fantastic experience for her. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday morning, I dropped Gamma off at the airport to catch a plane to Charlotte, then on to Munich, and finally to Hannover, Germany.
