0700 Monday morning (top right picture) Jon puts on his uniform to start the in-processing process. We both were looking forward to our German driver's license test (top left picture). We passed! However, there was no way we were ready to drive the Autobahn. Our sponsors, Brian, April and Amelia (bottom left), have been amazingly supportive. They drove us around for two days and taught us the ropes. We would be lost (literally) without them (they lent us their gps)! We will definitely have to find a proper way to thank them (any ideas?).
The language barrier isn't too bad yet as many people speak English. Brian was a great translator for us.
We have been searching for what seems like weeks, but it has only been days for a home. The market is pretty tough here due to the large influx of people just like us coming into town. We have narrowed the location down to areas within about 10-15 minutes of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, the hospital where Jon will be working. It is pretty important for him to be able to get to the hospital in a timely manner so we need to limit distance. Cross your fingers because we are expecting to hear back tomorrow if we got the place of our dreams!
Love you all!
Oh you got the pictures up! Is that what you were asking me?
ReplyDeleteYou guys can totally drive on the autobahn, I did when I was 18, I drove all over the place, from germany,swizterland, france, italy and austria. And no accidents. the only time it was scary was during a construction zone and the lanes were super small and nobody even slowed down, I thought for sure I was going to hit something! Keep up the posting!
