Sooooo...der Koffer ist gepackt und morgen geht es los :) Was mache ich und warum gibt es einen Blog? Ich wandere den West Highland Way , einen 154 km langen Fernwanderweg von Glasgow-Milngavie nach Fort William. Dazu fliege ich morgen von Düsseldorf nach Glasgow. Übermorgen habe ich einen Tag Zeit, um mir Milngavie, das "Tor zum West Highland Way", anzuschauen, bevor ich abends im Pub neben dem Hotel zum ersten Mal auf meine Wandergruppe stoße. Ja, ich wandere nicht allein. Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid und geteilte Freude ist doppelte Freude. Nach Erfahrungen mit Solo-Sightseeing in Italien finde ich, dass es einen Mehrwert hat Erlebnisse zu teilen.Ich habe mich also in einen geführten Gruppentrek eingebucht. Neben dem Guide sind wir insgesamt 12 Teilnehmer mit durchmischtem Alter aus Großbritannien, Israel und Australie... read more

Today is the second day. To start with Jet Lag caught up with me and I spent most of the night awake. About 4 hours of sleep from 8 to 12. I woke up when Svea came in to tell me that we were leaving in an hour. So I did the morning routine real quick and got ready to go. We left the house and made our way to the main train station in Frankfurt to catch a train to Gießen with our Frankfurt friends where Svea's other friends lived. They had invited her/me tagging along to a poetry slam. Gießen is a moderate sized city with a University so it has a good vibe. During this whole time my german was getting better but still I feel so behind sometimes. Especially with all these ... read more

Hofgut Bubenrod Near Koenigsberg, Germany Wednesday, August 19 2009 OK, so I know the last entry was somewhat half-assed. I've been trying to make up for it the past few days, but just haven't had either the opportunity or the words until now. My apologies, loyal readers, I will make this one a bit better. And I'll even throw in some bonus pictures from the party. What a party it was... Well, life here on the horse farm is quite stable nowadays (rim shot). Perhaps I didn't mention it, but Bubenrod gets most of it's revenue from either renting out land to neighboring farms or from raising horses. Unfortunately, in the switchover from sheep to horses, they have had to replace a lot of the fencing around here. Sheep fencing is no good for horses, as ... read more

Last night, I was in bed around 9:30. Just resting and reading and not being upright or around people. I was 2 pages from putting down my book and rolling over to sleep when my roommate walks in. We unpacked the day (this is our normal routine now) and vented a bit, discussing frustrations and worries and things that went well. Our team is doing a bit better than hers is. Anyway, we ended up looking at pictures of family and talking until after midnight. Gross. So, not a lot of sleep. The last few days, I’ve been the first one up and in the shower, but she had a meeting this morning, so I got to sleep in. When my alarm went off, it startled me awake. This is the same alarm I use at ... read more
