The first two weeks...

I still wake up in the morning just giddy that I am really here. As the sun peeks through my shades I am captivated and enticed to let the rays come through and greet the Bavarian Alps with joy.
Garmisch is so beautiful and so small. Earlier this week I ventured out into the snow filled streets to explore. I seem to find myself always getting turned around and going in circles. There are so many bakeries out here to eat at. So far I have not have had a full out German meal, I end up eating so many pasteries and breads that by the time I find a resturant I want to eat at I am full.
Hockey out here is so different... they are pretty much not allowed to fight, so their skill is impecable. The NHL could take a few pointers from them...
Living on base has it''s benefits and drawbacks. Everyone speaks English, whcih is nice, almost everyone is American which makes meeting "new" people difficult. I am surrounded by soliders almost all the time, even off base. Last night I made the mistake of going to the disco... there is a single soliders retreat this weekend on base that I did not know about. Seeing as the disco is one of the only things to do they were all there... Oh joy and they all wanted a girlfriend, my the lines they had.
My class is good, but I am finding real joy in eating lunch with the kindergardeners. They see the world so much differently than we do. I wonder what happened to us?
Next weekend I should be going to Paris, so stay tuned :)
