It is
the beginning of May and my time as a
DoDDS teacher is nearing the end. As I
frantically try to complete all the retirement paper work, pack out my house,
teach, and everything else that needs to be done, I have had to remind myself
to stop, breathe and take a look around. I still live in Germany! I have had
the privilege to see the beauty, culture and many sights this country has to
offer. I have enjoyed the fields full of flowers and mountains of snow, the
spring green and colorful autumns. I have visited castles and cathedrals that
are centuries old. I have driven 100mph
on the autobahn! I have eaten many varieties of schnitzel, black forest cake in
the black forest, and gotten fresh bread from the neighborhood bakeries. And I
have celebrated many Christmas’ at markets all around the country. I may have
lived here for many years, but I still have to pinch myself as a reminder that
it has not been a dream. The endless paperwork will not get the best of me!!!
