This will be a quick post as we are traveling this week.
Back in Ohio and West Virginia we spent some fun times with the family. We played with the kids and did some minor projects at Lauren’s place. Nathan is in what seems to be a never-ending battle with the wasps. It’s been great to soak up grandkid time in simple, sweet ways. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner with our niece Sarah and her family and we got to meet their newest addition, Poppy.
We hopped on a plane yesterday and flew to Utah to spend a few days with family and to take care of some pressing business. It was kind of wild to fly over the Wasatch Front. We are just two weeks shy of one year since we drove out of the Salt Lake valley, bound for Missouri, Weet Virginia, and Germany.
Nathan’s dad has been moved to a care center, so we are visiting him every day. We also wanted to see our dear family and a few friends. Living a “nomadic” life has some unexpected challenges. A couple of challenges that we are addressing this week are renewing a driver’s license and titling a car. It sure is simpler to do that in a place where you own property.
We wish you all a very fun and safe Independence Day and we will catch you again next week!
The Good, the Bad, und der Hässlich
Guten Tag und Hallo! Sorry for the abrupt end to the post from last week…we were just so busy that I ran out of time (and energy) to write it all up. But I will catch you up on all our doings now.
Mainly Main and the Rambling Rhein
We spent this week further exploring our new corner of Germany. We spent a day in Frankfurt, explored more of Mainz, and took a cruise on the Rhein. We are also back to being without, so we have returned to buses, trains, trams, and lots of walking.
Back to Deutschland
Our time in Italy came to an end and we took a few days to see some new places and move to our new homebase. We visited the lakes of Italy, the Black Forest, and took a trip up Germany’s Romantic Road. We have landed in the city of Mainz, just west of Frankfurt and on the mighty Rhine River. We will be here for six more weeks.
😊🩷
