Abenteuer In Deutschland

Herzliche Grusse!

Follow our adventures in Germany as we take off to der Vaterland for an extended visit to friends and family.
We hope to become intimate with the language, the people and the culture as we plunge
into a life in Essen, the Kulturhauptstadt 2010!

Aufwiedersehen





6 months is a strange amount of time in one country. It's:
- just enough time to make new friends before saying good bye :(
- just enough time for the girls to learn how to speak, read and write a new language
- just enough time to meet all your old friends once to say 'Hi', then once again to say 'Good-bye'
- just enough time to visit a few neighbouring countries
- just enough time to finish a research project; and
- just enough time before the lady in the local bakery trusts you enough to tell you gossip about the neighbours

Here are some snaps of my favourite 'new' friends at the Volkshochschule. I wonder if I will ever see them again....
