A real update.

Ok, so more typing less photos in this one. A little update about what has happened recently and what's coming up!

Over Thanksgiving weekend we traveled to Greece with our friend Derrek to visit his friend Susan, she teaches at an English school there. We spent most of Thanksgiving in several airports, but arrived in Greece late that night. Friday morning we headed to Meteora, on Saturday to Delphi, and Sunday back to Athens to catch our flight. It was not what I had in mind when I thought about visiting Greece (heeeello Greek Isles!) but it was nice.

We arrived back in Germany around 11pm, headed home, grabbed our stuff and drove west to Ramstein to catch a flight to the states. Mother Nature had another plan though, she wanted snow and what she wants, she usually gets. On Wednesday we finally caught a flight and were East Coast bound!

We spent a week in Virginia and a week in Michigan rounding out a short trip to Niagara Falls (and checked Canada off Anna's list - I'm sure she will go back).

We arrived back in Germany just in time to celebrate Christmas! But with the jet lag and snow we skipped out on the Christmas Markets. :(

Tomorrow we're off for our annual Christmas/New Years trip to Garmisch. We joked about how we weren't going this year - then our friends Pam and Chris mentioned at Christmas dinner how they had gotten an apartment and wanted to know if we wanted to join them! HELLLOOO YES!! So ...somehow tomorrow we're going to cram 3 people, 2 dogs, and ski gear into the VW. The true test of the VW! I think it's finally time to order the missing brackets for our Thule rack.

Happy New Year all! I will TRY to get some photos loaded and some blogging down on the road. :D
