Well, today is our last day in Germany. I kind of have mixed emotions about it, actually. I am so ready to be home, but this experience has been nothing short of wonderful! One of the countries on my list to visit was Germany and I actually got to experience living here. It's so different than visiting because you get to experience the real culture and not just the touristy stuff. Even going to the grocery store is fun, I think!
We have gotten to see so many places and things that I don't know if we would have seen otherwise. I know we probably would never have gone to Prague, but now I have been twice! And I have gotten to touch the Berlin Wall, see the Brandenburg gate and all of the other cool stuff in Berlin. I've also been to Buchenwald Concentration Camp more than once. I've gotten to see pieces of history that I would never have seen otherwise. I mean, you drive down the Autobahn and see castles! You just can't do that in America (nor can you go 100 mph on the interstate - haha).
I also am thrilled to be able to tell Nathan all of the cool things he has gotten to see (even though he won't remember them). I hope that he thinks its pretty neat when he is older. I sure have taken a lot of pictures! Now I just need to get them printed and into an album.
We've met a lot of friendly people and they have welcomed us with open arms. It has made living in a foreign country so much more fun!
I don't know where we will end up next season, but if it is half as fun as this year has been, I know it will be wonderful.
