I'm just feeling sad today.

I've been struggling a lot with homesickness...for Germany, that is. For the life I had there. For my friends. For all the wonderful food.

I expected this, of course. If I were living there, I would long to be back here in the US. I can never win.

This probably wouldn't even be a big deal if Lance were here at home with me today. It's just too quiet, and there isn't enough to do, and I end up thinking about things that make me feel sad and lonely.

I was happy to leave, at first. It seemed like just doing daily, mundane things that take half an hour in the States take all day in Germany. And that gets to be a pain.

But it's the other things I think about. Being able to hop on a train and go anywhere I want in the space of a few hours. Doner kebap. Amazing tapas. Days spent walking around Aachen...

I know I'll find rituals here that I'll love and hate to leave, eventually...
