German students head home.

German foreign exchange students are forced to stay in America for one more week because the volcanic ash clouds in Iceland are preventing flight.

Cristoph:I am very happy to stay here for another week. My parents are in Egypt so they are stuck too.

Elisabeth and Michael: We are very glad to stay because we didn’t want to leave Sunday. Our house families are excited to keep us and we’re excited to spend more time with the Americans.
