This blog has been very quiet lately, but not for lack of stories to tell and a backlog of travel photos to share. The silence in this space comes from a flurry of activity on every other front of my life. Call it “moving madness”– boxing up and shipping out my worldly possessions, crossing t’s and dotting i’s on the papers and accounts that anchored my life in Germany, last minute travels (spoiler: Barcelona pics to follow), finding temporary lodgings, comforting a confused canine friend, and managing the stress of a family in transition and saying goodbye to a fabulous sojourn in Europe.
Madness. It sinks into the brain and the body, and shorts out all your circuits temporarily. This morning, I’m coming up for air to post a photo from our last night in the old house on Jakobstrasse. For two years, it was a crazy, quirky old friend, and we will miss it, despite its many flaws.
I hope to be back online soon and continue sharing bits of our travels and our move experience. For today, I have only a stollen moment of web-connectivity, so I leave you with this one photo. A bittersweet goodbye to the house one German man in the village told me they used to call “Villa Sunshine.”
Travels and Tomes: One Expat's Amblings and Ramblings 
Wishing you safe travels! I look forward to your relocation blogs.
Thanks! We made a quick swing through Greensboro, and are now in Florida (blinding everyone with our flourescently white skin). Once we have internet, blogs will be posted. Also looking forward to reconnecting with old friends now that we are back in the U.S.!
Somehow I suspect your next location will be just as full of life as your last. But there is always something bittersweet about closing a chapter.
Right on all counts. There have been many tears over leaving Germany, but waking up to our sunny, watery plot by the beach in Florida has already been a delight.
Sounds busy! Good luck with the endings and the beginnings 🙂
Busy and a little disorienting. And a little sad, and a little exciting. Lots of feels.
Best wishes – must be an emotional time. Good luck with your future travels and new adventures 🙂
Thank you.
