Day 10

Going on a week and a half back here in Germany. It's been a relatively easy transition, although I am still far from "settled" (well, the ten months type settled). Tomorrow (Friday) I will head up to Berlin to visit Suse and also go to her hometown in Usedom. Then, Monday begins orientation...already! (Not even three whole days..)

I haven't written too much, as I have been trying to soak everything around me in. These past days I have been INCREDIBLY exhausted early in the day. Although the language flows, it does take a little more effort to understand at some points..or to get across. Perhaps my brain is just tired at the end of the day. haha.

I can't believe it has already been seven years since 9-11. It's interesting each year to talk to the people I am around, as everybody remembers that day so perfectly.

The more I am following the presidential race, the more I am realizing how badly I need to vote. I'm going to send off for my absentee ballot today. It's actually scary to think about what some of the people could do if in office...

And...as each post has had..here are some more pictures from the past few days out and about:

Treysa (Inga's hometown)
Dinner with a few elementary/high school friends


And super strong schnapps that you burn at home with her papa


Putting out the fire. haha. Important job. ;)


Today in Marburg!
Tretboot fahren! Paddle boating! Sooo beautiful and sunny today.


























And finally..time for some "eis"...ice cream. :)
