Well, it is now exactly 2 months since I last wrote. So much has happened since then. We got enough boxes and found storage space. Our dog found a home and we got everything taken care of. We even enjoyed staying in an "American" house the last 2 or 3 nights in Togo. It had central air and was extremely pleasant!
We are now in Germany and have been for a month. It's lovely to be here. Coming to Germany is for us like a holiday. No more work. No more telephone. No more sweating constantly. No more getting up early to get going each day, etc. We just enjoy being here and visiting and doing things we don't usually get to do.
We've gotten to do a number of the things on our list of things we couldn't wait to do, like wear jeans and closed shoes--it's kinda cold and rainy here in Germany this summer--and eat. The jeans are nice but I must admit that closed shoes are not as comfortable as I thought they would be. Actually, because of the second thing, the jeans aren't fitting as well as they did when we first arrived. Gotta make sure we do a bit more walking and less eating, but it all tastes so good!!
Only a month until we head to the US. Then we get to have summer a bit before experiencing fall and winter. The girls get to go to school and Roger and I are looking into courses we can take. For Roger this is more urgent but he isn't finding what he is looking for. We'll see.
