And welcome to my new blog, through which I hope to share
some of my experiences while I’m living in Bavaria with my family for the rest
of the year.
So what the heck are we doing in Germany, you ask? Well, my
husband David needed to be close to Munich this fall for work he’s doing with
XS Power Drink in Europe. And we’ve always wanted to do something like
this—live abroad, with our kids (or at least one of them). So we enrolled our
youngest son, Willem, in a local international school, found a house to rent,
and here we are. Our eldest son Schuyler started college in the U.S., so he’s
off on his own adventure.
I’m planning to work on a few writing and publishing
projects while I’m here, and hopefully learn how to sort the trash (compost, glass,
plastic, paper, and whatever else is left) into color-coded bags and decipher
the garbage pickup schedule taped to the fridge, which looks kind of
complicated. I only got here yesterday, but I’m liking these Germans, and their
lovely Bavarian countryside, and the way that good design seems to contribute significantly
to quality of life here (more about those linking shopping carts later. And Mad
King Ludwig…. And…and! I’ve got so much to tell you. But it’s almost midnight.
So, tomorrow.)
Can't wait to follow your adventures here Sarah! Welcome to your Bavarian home! xo

DeleteLove your Mad King Ludwig opener! Can't wait to learn more. Grateful you are sharing your experience with all. 18 teenagers from Baltimore in Heidelberg for 3 weeks during my teaching days--immersion experiences are my favorite travel experience, not so much for the chaperone part.
