Being back
In the first 24 hours since I got back to the US, I cried uncontrollably about how unfair life was now that my European vacation was over.
In the 48 hours after that, I looked at over 30 properties to try to decide where to live.
In the following week, we bought a loft downtown (doesn’t “loft” sound so much cooler and impressive than “condo”?)
Then we spent three grand on bikes and biking equipment so we could prepare for RAGBRAI.
That brings us to today.
I miss Germany like crazy but am adjusting to the crazy life of three hour commutes, freak May snowstorms, and general “back to reality” type scenarios. It’s definite culture shock, but (most days) it feels good to be home.

Welcome back to the States! It must be totally weird to have a bit of culture shock in your own home country.

Welcome home! Think of all of the fabulous memories that you made in Germany. Besides, you can always go back, right?

Jesus, I was worried you were so depressed you would never blog again!
