So, I've talked David into moving to Germany for nearly 3 months. Of course I thought it would be a grand adventure - jetting to Paris whenever the urge strikes.
Not so much.
So far, our grand adventure has been comprised of a series of unfortunate surprises. Our apartment? One room. That's right, one room with one bed and one chair and one desk. The pillow is literally 14 inches from the bathroom. That won't work. Not. At. All.
The location is also less ideal than I envisioned. We're in the north end of Oberursel, about 15 minutes away from my office. While the proximity to the Taunus mountain nature area is very nice, we have to walk a long way to get to the good things. Luckily, there is a u-bahn station right outside the door.
We can also walk to the grocery store. We made an exploratory visit there yesterday and we figured out mundane things like the German words for "ground coffee" and "not gross yogurt."
I also got my car yesterday. We are now mobile.
So, slowly, we are getting things back on track. We move to a new apartment on Monday. It will be a larger apartment and I hope that it will have a couch. A couch really makes a home, I think.
