I'm writing this a week after being home, and Europe feels like decades ago! There was really only one weekend in between the last update and coming home, and that was the weekend that Annette, Pierrot and Laurent captured me and took me to the Mosel Valley. They picked me up Friday night, after I sorta packed and started to get ready to come home. We drove to a small village outside of Cochem, and stayed in a holiday apartment. It was really cute, with a wonderful bed and the village had some great food and wine! I ate so well that weekend, let me tell you! We went to Burg Eltz, which was a really cool castle where my camera ran out of batteries. It of course rained on the steep walk down and ... read more

I know, I know. It's been forever. But there for a while I really didn't have much to update about, then things just got busy, so I'll do my best. Really I just hung around for a few weekends, not doing too much. Homework ect. And then Maria came. We'd been short an intern for a while so they sent Maria in from Oregon. And we started hanging out. First weekend we went to Koblenz. It is where the rivers Rhein and Mosel meet, and decided it would be a good place for a day trip. Doc, (Stephanie with the Ph... get it, doc??) Maria and I headed out to explore the day. We went on a boat trip where the commentary was in German, but got to see some beautiful countryside and cool monuments. ... read more

It's been a little while since I updated, so I thought I should fill you all in on my adventures. Trier was a great little city, we spent the day there and got to see Pascal as well. We checked out some of the old roman ruins, and walked around, had kepabs of course and took the train home. We only slightly got stranded on the train (sound familiar AO?) since our little train station is so tiny it's not listed on the departure schedule so we thought we couldn't make it home! Luckily we found some friends that did some investiagion work for us and figured it out okay. I made it to H-berg a few weekends ago! It was wonderful. I took the ducks with me so I could show them my old stomping ... read more

So, I arrived back in Germany with only minor delays. I had trouble getting out of Omaha, but at least got to go back home and hang out until my rescheduled flight. As usual, it was a long day traveling, and I was exhausted when I got in. I was on the flight with another girl from Iowa, and our supervisor Ryan ended up picking us up at the airport and we were the last interns in. There are 17 interns plus our supervisor, so definitely a bunch of us!! I am living in the barracks, and sharing a bathroom with Ryan. We have one kitchen per floor, so that kinda stinks. Our housing is about 20 min. from the main post, so we have to take the military bus into work everyday. Not much is ... read more

Holy buckets. I can't believe we are cleaning up the apartment, and getting things ready for our final inspection already! Our time here is winding down, and it's quite sad. I am done teaching preschool, I have a week of observations and hanging out left. One of the little girls during circle time raised her hand, and when I called on her, she didn't really have anything to say. She stammered for a little while and finally said, "umm, I think I love you." Heart wrenching. But the last few weekends have not gone with out some fun. I went to the Netherlands with Carol, Ed, Bev, Chozy and Jezmay. We went to Volkenberg to see a Christmas market that is in these caves under a fortification. Sounded pretty cool, so Bev made all the arrangements ... read more
