Mayo! (wow this is late)

Pictures of my neighborhood in spring??!! They're still on here?? 

I suppose the time has come to come back to scoop up the remainders of the pictures I took in Germany. Since returning to the states, I've kept busy with music festivals and systematically cleaning my parents house while maintaining their property for them. More on that later though. 

Here we are studying together at the kitchen table on a weekend, competing to finish Maja's math homework.

 All in All

March was pretty exciting. At least I think it was. In all seriousness I don't remember too much other than the pictures I took. According to my journal I made a lot of todo lists and was busy with school. We were in Eckelsberga for the Golden Wedding Anniversary which was a lot of food and fun. After a few weeks of school Spring Break happened and Maja and I were in Berlin and Potsdam for a few days. It was pretty rainy but we still had fun being tourists and seeing the sights. Berlin is a great city, there's no way to get around it. It reminds me of an accordion with a lot of hidden spaces unveiled when it's pulled open, but yet still difficult to understand without seeing it from the inside out. There's a lot of museums, artists, youth, oldth; everything that can be, is.

For Easter we were at Oma and Opa's and we celebrated by baking a lot of cakes and making 40 hard boiled eggs, and then trying to eat everything. The easter bunny hid gifts for us outside in the garden. The other set of grandparents from my host family even stopped by for an evening and we all ate a very german dinner together, mainly consisting of bread, cured meats and cheese. 

There's probably a lot more that I could psychonavigate here, but I think that das reicht.

tbc.. (almost caught up!)
