I've been home in Austin for a couple weeks, and it's weird. Germany feels a long way away, and things here are just like they always have been. I start driving to Seattle tomorrow, so I've been spending all my time packing, replacing things from my lost wallet (it was stolen from a swimming pool a couple weeks before I left - fun, right?), getting things taken care of, and applying for jobs. Lots of jobs. And I still don't have one. At least I'm not homeless anymore!
I've been meaning to write this for a while. Between France and Germany, I was in Europe for just over a year.
In that year I went to 9 Countries (France, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal. and the USA for vacation, so it counts)
and 9 Cities in Germany (Hanover, Frankfurt, Bremen, Goslar, Berlin, Lüneburger Heide, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Hildesheim
flew on 21 planes, and ridden on numerous trains, buses, trams, boats, and a couple times in cars.
eaten apples, potatoes, strawberries and raspberries that grew right outside my front door
rode my bike 1200 miles through the Alps, ran my first half marathon, and did the first ever Tough Mudder in Germany
took care of 5 beautiful, adorable, crazy, high energy children
and most of all had a fun year. It wasn't the easiest year, mentally and emotionally, but I really did enjoy it and was sad to leave.
