Hello aus Deutschland!

 So, it has been a very long time, like, almost six years!

And so much has happened and changed!!!

In April of 2019 I moved to Germany with my dog, Applejack. In June of that same year Jim joined me and we began our life as US Expats.

To sum it up so as not to bore you with six years of history that is so very far behind, we now have another addition to our family, io, a Silken Windhound. We took a train up to Bremen and got him when he was a pup and he's pretty special. It took Applejack a few days to warm up to him but they get a long pretty well. 

And the dogs love Germany! There are so many places to walk and hike and things to see. Covid lockdowns forced us to explore our immediate vicinity, which is on the edge of the palatinate forest, and we found so many treasures. 

Dogs in the Mullerthal, Luxembourg

We have had many adventures in our three years here. We have been to Austria, the German Alps, Luxembourg has been a beautiful surprise and only 1.5 hours away, the adorable Alsace region of France, Northern Germany to the island of Sylt, the Netherlands, and Slovenia.

And we are still on track to retire in France in 2-4 years and are working on figuring that out. 

Not too far from home

 There's still a lot on the list and I will endeavor to keep the page updated.
