Hi everyone! I am back, in Hannover, that is. I have lots of ideas for posts and am ready to get back into the blog, but I have to warn you...
I am super jet lagged and cannot be held responsible for anything strange that I write in the next 2-3 days.
Transcontinental jet lag is a funny thing - you are not only sleep deprived but you also skip ahead in a mini time warp. The result is that my brain isn't sure where it was for about 7 hours yesterday/today/ whatever you call this day that never ends. So far Brian and I are functioning ok on our 20 minutes of plane sleep, and have only lost our fine motor skills and ability to speak in full sentences.
Last year when we came back from the U.S., I got distracted while riding around town on my bike and ran into a post. I still have a faint gear-shaped scar on my ankle. The day after Brian flew in from Florida in the spring, he lost the only pair of sunglasses he'd ever loved. Hopefully this time there will be no casualties other than some wacky dreams and a little extra rambling on for you lovely people.
So keep alert for more posts to come, and I will try to do the same. (I'd love to think of a witty closing line for this little disclaimer, but the synapses are not firing very fast.)
About Me
- Julia
- 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.
