It is almost exactly one week until I will be sitting on a Continental Airlines flight heading out from St. Louis...to Salzburg! I have spent the night finalizing packing which is always entertaining. Even more entertaining? I can't wait to handle all of these bags by myself! My favorite first memory of Germany was the train. My train made it to Heidelberg and I just stood there staring at the door. Why isn't it opening?! (I asked myself.) Just then a girl my age, probably realizing my panic as to why this door was still not moving, pressed a lit button and voila! open door. The memory just makes me realize how far I have come since then. Not only in my knowledge of opening a door of course, but traveling as well. And it makes me laugh every time. It's all about the experiences, no matter how tiny.
This trip has brought about every emotion under the sun, but I think I am finally realizing this is it. This is so cool! There will be good days, there will be crummy days, but who the hell cares? I'm in Europe!
Here is a picture from one of my first days in Heidelberg. I'm with my friend Judith at a party :)
