U.S. trip - the rest of it (abridged)

I'm a little behind on telling you about our trip to the U.S., so I will summarize.

The Twin Cities leg of our trip was great and busy - lots of friends to see, lots of visits to our favorite places, eating, drinking, socializing, fun. And the Royals swept the Twins, so some of us (I'll let you guess who) were really happy.

We had Joe visiting from Baltimore, Andrew from Kansas City, some mini golfing, some kayaking, and meals at some great restaurants.

I also took a 3 day trip to Madison, accompanied by my friend Julie, to visit Karissa and her family including new baby Tito, and miraculously did not catch their stomach flu.

Our house is fine, our renter is happy, and she, her daughter, the bunnies and the dog will be staying another year. We are grateful to our human host Mike and his canine sidekick Dalton for their hospitality.

After another week of relaxation time and another round of visits with my family, we are back in Hannover.

About Me

My photo
Thanks for coming to my blog. It started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and now has become an ongoing project. I'm an American living in Germany and trying to travel whenever I can. I write about my experiences as an expatriate (the interesting ones and the embarrassing ones), and about my travels. There are some recurring characters in this blog, particularly my husband Brian and several of our friends. The title comes from the idea that living in a foreign country means making a lot of mistakes. So the things you used to do easily you now have to try over and over again. Hopefully, like me, you can laugh at how idiotic it feels. If you have happened upon my blog, then welcome. Knowing that people are reading what I write makes me keep going. Feel free to write comments or suggestions for future posts.
