Spring

Hey there!

Spring has finally arrived here in southern Germany. It has brought its share of rain, mixed with some gorgeous days of sun and a handful of amazing thunderstorms. I have been house-sitting for a friend of mine out further in the country and have been loving it. Besides the fact that I'm watching her Great Danes, which have been great running partners, the area is absolutely breathtaking. It is a runners paradise. The trails go on for endless miles and around every corner and over every hill is a beautiful view. I love it! So here are a few of the pics...


















Hope you all are doing good and are enjoying your own spring/summer weather! I think about home nearly everyday and yes...even over here I miss Portland; however, I wouldn't trade this amazing opportunity for anything. Despite the minor hurdles of being in a foreign country, everyday brings with it a new discovery!

Tschuss!

  1. Beautiful! . . .it's hard to find words. We are looking for that kind of sunshine here in Oregon. Maybe when Rose Festival is over, summer will start? Looks like you have some great running partners and there seems to be miles and miles of trails. No directional signs that I can see, so you must have to remember your way around a bit. Love you Babe!

  2. Hooray! I finally know how to post a comment, thanks to the twins. They are on a youth group amazing race trip where they are blogging; so I had to learn how to do this.
    Okay, I have to admit, I'm still learning. If you receive this 2x, it's because I hit preview and my comment was dropped (I think). :-)
    Jessica, you are an amazing person! It takes such courage and faith to head off on this life changing adventure. It sounds like you are really absorbing all the area has to offer and embracing the different culture. I love the pictures of your house and places you have been visiting. Thank you for letting us look through the window of your life, to share in the fantastic adventure you are taking.
    Love, Shelley Faunt
