Wow, just wow. What a long time has passed since my last post, and oh, so much has occurred in my life...I mean, I'm on a different continent and have been for over a month and a half!
I will share my stories with you and give the full update...in time. The reason for the major lack of communication is that I have often been leaving my computer at the houses of friends while traveling so that I do not have to lug its wonderful heaviness around, and also, when traveling, internet is a gift...not a guarantee.
There is a sense of immense freedom in being disconnected from the technological world, and I have been disconnected to some extent. However, now, I owe you, my readers an official update on my whereabouts and my adventures. So for now, I will simply share the whereabouts, and later, I will post about the adventures (with pictures and exciting stories galore!)...
I officially begin work as an au pair tomorrow for a family with three children in a town near Munich, Germany. The kids are Girl 14, Boy 12, and Girl 5...and all have exceptionally intelligent, unique, funny, fun, and sweet personalities that I am only just getting to know! I work with them everyday after school and cook dinner, sometimes babysit on evenings and weekends, and I will also occasionally travel with the family. Their home (where I will reside for the next YEAR!!!) is modern, filled with modern art, and is beautifully situated right beside a huge forest filled with trails and the river Izar that runs through Munich. I AM learning German, so everyday I try and practice a little bit more as I encounter people in public! I must, however, always speak English with the children. That is a requirement of the job.
My mind is exploding with stories to share, but I need to get back to the family...so for now, "tschuss!" and please know that I am happy, healthy, and living life on my curvy path, and observing this world and its endless beauty at each and every possible moment. Much love.
