It is starting to feel like home in our new apartment now that we have our bedroom completely furnished, had our first pancake breakfast and fajita diner (with supposedly real “Tex-Mex” seasoning), and can sleep through the night without waking up from jetlag. It will really be home once we get our final pieces of furniture delivered and when dogs arrive (in about two weeks).
Euros have felt like Monopoly money this week at the rate at which we are spending cash (and their colors). It is unbelievable how much stuff there is to buy when you are starting out from scratch again. It’s also amazing how much stuff you can get into a tiny European car - Thanks Aunt Ellen for driving us, and thanks Julie for stuffing yourself in the back!
There are still overwhelming moments where Julie and I look at each other and wonder “what are we doing here, how did we get here, and will we ever learn German?”. Then there are times where we take a 5 minute walk somewhere and discover something amazing that makes all the temporary discomfort worth it. For instance, the properly named “Hirsch (deer) Garten” is just two blocks from our apartment (also home to Munich’s largest bier garten).
All in all, we are happy to be here and look forward to our future adventures.
