First Photos

Hello, Family!

It's slightly easier to share things with you blog-style. Hopefully I'll have enough time to keep it up. But for now, here are some initial shots of the apartment! It's starting to finally feel like it's my place... now that we've got our own decorations up here and there. Lots of work still to do, though.
Living Room

Living Room
Note the woodcarving from Lisa in our MASSIVE wooden whatever-that-thing is.
Living Room
I got that tapestry for Fabi a long time ago. It just so happens to KIND OF match the green furniture. Not really, but let's just pretend, okay? haha!
Bedroom
You enter the bedroom from the living room, and that there is my giant wardrobe. No closets in this house. I miss my big closet so bad!
Bedroom
Our orange and red curtains... came with the place! As did many Catholic books from Fabi's late grandparents.
Bedroom
Got my tapestry up, too! We moved Fabi's bookshelf downstairs, and I've now placed photos of Mom and Lisa on it.
Veranda
The garden needs a lot of work. The last renter didn't keep track of anything, so there's a large dead tree and it's all overgrown. But we'll get it all fixed up!
Sitting in the Living Room, writing to you!

Hope you are all doing well. More to come later!

Up the Alps, Down a "Bier"

Hello, Family! So, here we go... the first round of Alps photos! This first one is our view the morning we left. A bus drove us from our hotel in the valley up to about the half-way mark altitude-wise. Lots of shade because the mountains are just so darn huge. This photo overlooks the "Lechtal" - the valley of the Lech River. This is a group photo of the adults we went with. There were 6 of us all together. Fabi and I are not featured in this lovely shot, but you can see Markus and Anja (friends of the family) and Margit and Hansi (the latter being his normal goofy self). Then we have my wonderful Julie Andrews impression. ... and some robustly healthy cows who let us walk right through their grazing space. How the cows made it up to that altitude eludes me, but they were there nontheless, bells a' ringing. Fabian strikes a Tirolan pose at the almost-top. From this point (which is comparable in height to Emerald Lake at the end of on our hike in Colo

Dirndl Fun

Image
   It's Octoberfest season! What better way to celebrate than to buy myself the traditional garb: a bonafide dirndl. After making a trip to the local NKD department store and bartering with the cashier about a small, fixable mistake with the charm chain on the bodess, I bought this thing for just 30 Euro and rode home proudly with it in my little bike basket. And of course, I needed a better backdrop for you all than my living room, so I had a little fun with Photoshop. Happy Octoberfest!
