Goodbye France, Hello Germany

The end of Part 1 of the adventure has arrived. On September 29, I left Paris and moved to Kaiserslautern, Germany. My summer in Paris was great, except for not much work. I went on a great vacation to the south of France with my niece, Lauren, and friend, Lucy. Then off to England to visit Lisa for a few days. For the first time, I saw the village where I was born. I spent most of August in Paris and it was a little eerie with so many of the residents gone, but nice, too. A little quieter and much less crowded. By the beginning of September, my friends were trickling back from their vacations. I spent the month revisiting favorite places in Paris, and taking some trips outside Paris. I visited Giverny where Monet's house and gardens are a sight worth seeing! I went to the Normandy coast to see Honfleur and Deauville (and drove through Paris for the second time!). I had a glass of wine in the bar at the Ritz Hotel - très chic! And lots of going away parties as many of my friends left in September. The autumn weather was perfect, which only served to intensify the beauty of Paris. Yes, it was sad to leave Paris, but it was also time to move on.
And now I am in Kaiserslautern, Germany. It is a small city (about 100,000 people) near the large Ramstein USAF base. I will attempt to find employment here. If that doesn't pan out, I will return to Colorado. So,the adventure continues and I will post again when I have some concrete news.
Ciao,
Nancy
