The weather here is stubborn and gray. It will not budge. I am starting to understand the classic German winter that Markus speaks of. I think it would be more difficult than winter in Wisconsin. It is warmer yes, but incredibly gray. We have sun and cold, take your pick.
It is my last week of school. One month is officially too short. I am starting to be more comfortable but I now realize I have so much more to learn. I will have to come back again.
I left Markus in bed this morning and took the train to school. He is suffering from jet lag and went to bed at 4 in the morning. I hope he will catch up. Last night, we visited his uncle and cousin. His cousin has a built a new house and it was interesting to see new construction in Germany, they build with bricks and plaster walls mostly. They rarely use wood to frame the house like we do in the USA. They heat with a small wood stove inside and it was so nice and warm. They also have heated tile floors. I would love to have both of these at my house.
Tonight I will go to Diebels brewery for a tour and to sample the beer of course. I think it will be a good time.

The days might be gray ... but they are lot brighter since I am closer to Joy.
Her German became so much better. I am very impressed how fast she is learning.
Yes, how bright to be in the presence of the one you love! Glad to hear you arrived, Markus. Anna got me at airport, last night, and I am very happy to see, hear, hold and kiss her after too, too long! Love the blog, Joy...just saw it, today, for first time. What clever ruminations of inevitable new discoveries, differing experience-bases in others you've met, and of personal awarenesses. You've got quite a knack for this! With curry simmering on the stove we are off for adventure with Harry Potter. --Niecie
