First entry

Hi everyone, Although I'm not much of a blogger/internet writer type, I thought that having a place to write about my experiences overseas would be a good and convenient way to let everyone know what's going on here. This doesn't mean that I don't appreciate an email or a letter - in fact, I prefer that! But in lieu of mass emailing, this is a nice way to communicate any traveling stories or experiences that are worth sharing. Feel free to check it out from time to time. I found an apartment in Detmold, after two days of a challenging search. Here's the address in case you'd like to snail mail: Geeta Abad Spitzenkamptwete 15 32756 Detmold GERMANY It's a lovel apartment on the ground floor level of a couple's house, and is fully furnished to the point where I don't even need to bring my own silverware. Violin lessons and German classes will start next week, and tomorrow I make the move to Detmold. On Saturday, I'll brave the aggressive German drivers on the Autobahn (highway) and drive my mother to Frankfurt where she'll fly back to Chicago. I'm going to bake eggless brownies for a feast tonight. We've invited my cousin's inlaws and her brother-in-law for dinner. I hope they won't notice let alone mind that they're eggless...Germans do know their dessert :) That's all for now. Take care, everyone!
