Home Sweet Home

After 362 days abroad I am officially back on American soil. It feels good to be home, but I do miss Germany. It is an awesome country and Goettingen was a fun university city.

I know you all have missed me like crazy so let the visiting begin! I know I am not always the most available person since I tend to travel around a lot, but I will be around in Livermore for about two weeks before I head off to India for the last two weeks of August. I am going to be working at the Little Flock orphanage near Chennai in the village of Kondamangalam (spelling?). Anyways after that I will home again, I will go up to Tahoe and then move back down to Santa Barbara towards the end of September to start my final year of college. Crazy!

After school finished in Germany on July 20th, yes you read that correctly, July 20th! I went with my mom to St. Petersburg and Estonia. Russia is awesome, but they don't make it easy to get there. Anyways we only had 3 days and in St. Petersburg you need at least a week, if not more. It was fun to be in Russia and decode the signs that are all written in Cyrillic and then Estonia was great because I got to see people again. I will try to put up some pictures from that trip soon.

Hope everyone is having a good summer and hope to talk to all of you, in case anybody actually reads this, soon.

Sorry I was so spotty in updating this throughout the year, but at least you got an idea of what sort of things I was up to. :-)

My year in Germany is officially over. And so is this blog. (unless I decide to continue just for fun, maybe I will post something about India after I get back.)
