The kids had great fun running around the school and escaping their daily routines...
D'Kanner hate vill Freed ronderëm d'Schoul ze lafen an hiren alldeegleche Routinen z'entkommen...
Thank you Diekirch!

...all together we ran through the pictuesque old part of Echternach...

...we were all wet but the faces were shining...
...mir waren all naass, awer d'Gesiichter hu gestrahlt...
...the school director addressed kind words to the runners...

Häerzlech wëllkommen an Däitschland!
As soon as we crossed the border we reached the oldest city of Germany: Trier!
