Eibsee
I was talking with a government official today about passport renewals and it struck me that it was almost five years ago that I left this continent for the first [and only, thus far, for those of you keeping score at home] time in my life. As I sit in the warmest room in the house [the only room with internet and without air conditioning] I can't help but think fondly of those days in Garmisch when we would go into the mountains and it would be cool enough to wear wool sweaters [in August!]. For some reason I think of those times as simpler, though I know rightly that they had plenty of strife. If I had known that the coming school year would have been so instrumental in my life, would the trip have been any different? I had a dream more than a few months ago where I was in Germany and on a run, I can only hope that someday I will live out that dream. I'd definitely run around Eibsee Lake a few times, if only to enjoy the scenery. Until then I'll just have to put up with the searing heat of these midwest [post East?] summers. you have my love.

I can't believe it's been five years since that trip. Those days definitely seemed simpler. I think I was naive then to think life was easy and people were nice. Now with five years of this life experience I see that was not so true. I to may have thought or lived out that trip much differently had I known what things lied in my future. When are you coming to Portland, we should hang out.
Post East?
You are ridiculous. That's why I love you. That and your good looks.
