I loved my town in Zurich. Miss it. Will surely go back.

I’m glad I discovered you through Steve at Color Sweet Tooth!

NWY – I would, but I ate it all.

Cestandrea – you should have seen us at Oktoberfest! A whole mess of Americans (and other non-Germans) all decked out in dirndls and lederhosen. Fun stuff.

Blondie – my thoughts exactly.

Zan & Lori – I think this is one of my favorite by-products of frequent moves. And if I can't afford to have many homes all at once, at least I can have them one at a time.

I think that feeling is why I like moving and traveling a lot. I experience it when we get to the airport in Sao Paulo among all the tourists. It is nice to know exactly where you are going and what to do. I don’t know, sometimes I think many homes are more fun than just one.

It’s certainly nice returning to places you haven’t been in a while and feeling like you’re at home — like you know exactly where to go. Very nice.

I love that feeling too. But you do realize how long you’ve been gone when you notice new things cropping up here and there. But no mind, you can still own the place. Throw out chest and be the native that you are!
P.s. Feel free to send that chocolate my way! =)

Leaca – I know! I’ve never seen the US celebrated like this for anything over here. It’s such a nice change.

We move a lot too. DH’s job does not allow us to stay put for very long. I just wished we were able to live somewhere like Zurich. Very cool.

P.S. I love that you everyone is celebrating our new president elect–that has not happened in a while.

Hmmm… I think so. At the very least you start to learn that 1) all the ridiculous seemingly impossible things will somehow get resolved and 2) there’s no point stressing over them. Plus we’ve pared down our belongings a lot over the past few years, so that has made it easier, too. Good luck.
