If you have noticed that I shut down (or shut up) for a little while over the summer, you are right. I had a week in northern Spain followed by 2 days at home and then 3 weeks in the US of A. I slept in seven different beds on my Midwestern visit, spent a lot of time with family, a few great days with friends and as much time as possible out on the lake. Everything was wonderful and familiar, except that Brian was not with me. He was pursuing every boy's dream of being alone on the frontier. Except that his frontier was in Central Asia and his cowboy days were filled with pre-teens playing baseball. More on that later.
Now that my tan is fading, and my husband and our domestic bliss will soon return, I am back to the blog. And I'll be back to work on Monday but, as I promised my fans back home, I won't forget about you, dear readers. Stay tuned.
In August 2011, Brian and I made our move from Saint Paul, Minnesota USA to Hannover, Germany. This blog is a way to share the minor daily adventures, adjustments, and observations that come from moving to a new country.

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.
