Largest Ship Builder in Europe-End of Week 2




To finish week two's academic segment we visited one of the largest ship builders in the world in Papenburg Germany. We were able to take a tour of the facility and see their three areas of ship construction including a near completed 336 meter long Disney Mega Cruise Ship (3.5 football fields long!). The facilities were amazing and the tour was given by a delightful and jolly retired engineer whose energy and vigor were contagious. Later next week, public health students will view a local hospital and see first hand how the German health care system functions in a private hospital. It will be a wonderful end to our final week. But first we must travel to Paris for the weekend. "Que Sera, Sera...What ever will be, will be".

Off to Paris,
