getting settled

So I made it to Germany, with everything in tow.  A few snags along the way, but that is only to be expected.  Now I am trying to recover from jet lag and preparing to move into my house tomorrow!  I was pleased to discover that my German studying has paid off, I was able to successfully communicate with my landlord, who speaks limited English.  I am loving the climate here as well as the beautiful scenery.  It feels great to be done traveling and ready to get settled in.
