So for the past couple of days I have been staying with Hannes's father while Hannes is on a work trip. It's been a lot of fun and a whole other perspective of Germany. He lives only thirty minutes from the city and yet the villiage is in it's own seperate world. When I first arrived we took the dog for a walk up into the fields above the villiage. The tranquility was tangable. This is peace. Not peaceful for that implies that it holds qualities derived from peace. This is the other way around. Never have I ever felt so still and yet alive, every breeze felt like the earth's breath. I think if I could choose to live anywhere in this world that I have known I would choose this villiage.
Anyway, poetic mumblings aside it's been fun getting to spend time here. Hannes's father is paying me to work for him. So I've been splitting and stacking firewood like crazy. He's far too generous, he refuses to let me buy my own Scotch or beer when we go out, so I had to settle for cooking breakfast this morning. A good ol' American pair of One Eye'd Jacks.
Sadly, even though I'm having the time of my life over here I find my thoughts turning homeward. I hope all is well with you all. Send me emails with all the latest news and happenings in your lives.
Thinking of Y'all,
~Sam
