Hello Helen!
Thank you for your letter. Sorry, that I answer just now. But we stay in holidays and so I have not
check the mails. We are happy to have a nice guest and welcome you at Monday.
We are a little family. My husband, Volker, I, and our son Leonard. he is 17 years old. And we have a little cat.
At the evening I work (I `m a fitness trainer) and so my husband, Volker comes to the school and take you home.
See you soon. Have a nice fly!
Mit freundlichem Gruß,
Ines
So many things about the email just make me excited and happy (fitness trainer?! cat?! new little brother?! awesome German names?! ) It's so nice to finally know where I will live in a matter of days, and the family seems warm and welcoming. Woo hoo!
Also, I have made it to my former swampy stomping grounds, Washington DC. As I stayed up far too late last night and participated in far too much debauchery con Katherine in New Orleans, the day was very long. Thus, I am turning in early tonight so I will be 100% for the full day of orientation tomorrow and for meeting my congressional representative. Highlights of today included learning lots of much-needed information (turns out we will be spending two days as a group in Frankfurt upon arrival in Germany for ANOTHER orientation), meeting some really cool and diverse peeps, and asking a German man how much sausage normal German people eat. Hint: the answer is not as much as I ate when I went to Germany.
I have so much more to share already, but nope! Gotta catch some zzzzs and dream of the crazy days to to come from our nation's capitol.
highlights: "have nice fly," and "the answer is not as much as I ate when I went." frau hels, I am excited for you.
