Official Resident of Kleinbottwar

I had another little milestone today. Margit and I went down to the Steinheim "Rathaus", the city hall, and registered me as a resident of the city of Kleinbottwar. In a few months, I will receive an invitation in the mail to the annual official welcoming ceremonies, during which the mayor speaks and then all the new residents are paraded around town. Neat, right?
Registration Paperwork
Tonight Fabian and I are going to pick up his aunt's old bicycle, so that I can get around at no cost. Speaking of transportation, I very successfully drove a stick shift car yesterday from Kleinbottwar to Großbottwar and back. I think with a little practice, I will be just fine driving here.

I have been applying for jobs as well as looking at further education opportunities, either in Business or language services - translation or teaching. I am also applying for an international telephone marketing service (I know, I would be one of THOSE people, but at least they could use my skills). First interview is on Tuesday at a Marketing Firm, and I am nervous but excited.

That is all for now! Headed to Murr to pick up my bike!

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!
