We made it! We're in Germany now... and so happy to be here. The weather is B E A U T I F U L - warm and extra sunny. What a nice welcome! We arrived yesterday around 4pm and have been busy unpacking and organizing. My living/dining room is a disaster... see? The flowers and things on the table are from my mother in law. She also made a wreath for our front door. Sooo cute and last night she prepared a delicious meal for us -- stewed fresh veggies from the farmer's market, grilled turkey and fried potatoes with onions. Yum!
And here is where I have been spending a lot of time, in my bed! I slept from 6pm yesterday until this morning at 8:30 am. I was so worn out after flying and then spending time in London. But I'm up and unpacking now and feeling GREAT.
I'm listening to Whitney Houston's new single and love that she has a new album coming out soon -- very good news. I had my morning cappuccino and I'm ready to clean my house and get everything organized here because luggage and things are everywhere. Tomorrow I will go visit my dear friend Esra (I can't WAIT to see her) and I have many other friends and family to visit this weekend so things will be very busy. My apartment needs groceries so I will visit the new local grocery store. I know it's crazy but maybe I will take some photos of the grocery store here so you can see. I mean, for those living outside of Germany it may be interesting to see? I don't know, I'm always interested in things like that... I love seeing different products in various countries...
I also must go magazine shopping!! Yay!!
See you soon my friends. Here is a little photo of Thorsten and I that we took at the London Heathrow airport yesterday while waiting for our flight to Hannover. I took it especially for you.
xo,
Holly

I would love the see the German grocery stores- in fact, doing "normal" shopping like that is one of my favourite things to do in a new country. I find it fascinating!
Take as many pictures as possible - even seemingly odd ones like grocery stores! Enjoy and welcome home.
wishing you all the best.
Would love to see shots of the grocery store!!!
All the best! Looking forward to more pics of Germany!
Glad you made it safe and sound. I am like you in that I, too, find it interesting to take notice of everything. Even the grocery market. It's just a different feel in each country. I think taking pictures of all those things is interesting.
Have a lovely time catching up with friends and family and your mum-in-law is so lovely for leaving a prepared meal for you two. I love it!
Thanks for sharing your pics Holly.
Good luck and have a nice staying in Germany.
It's sounds like you've really hit the ground running - that's great.
I would love to see photos of daily life in Germany, even supermarkets and food packaging and "boring" stuff like that. It's interesting. I sometimes put photos on Flickr or my blog of regular everyday shots I take when I'm out and about. They're not necessarily remarkable photos, but I think other people like seeing what New York looks like. Buildings, traffic, shops, people, etc.
German grocery stores can be hughe. I love them.
Bye,
Marianne.
I would love to see photos of German grocery stores - I wonder how different they look...
Anyway, congrats on your successful move!
I hope you have some wonderful days here!
Best wishes from Sindelfingen (near Stuttgart),

I realy love the dm grocery-stores. They have a big selection of brands and good own-brands as well.

I'd love to see your magazine stash :)
beauty and warmth
in the traveler's eye.
I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'd love to see what grocery stores look like in Germany. I visited southern Germany/Austria/northern Italy about a decade ago, but didn't get the chance to explore stuff like that.

Should you make it into Berlin, look me up!
Best Wishes in your new home!

Oh Holly want a great surprise this post was!!! I haven't had internet access since Friday and finally popped on and thought "Hmm, i'm sure she's too busy but maybe she posted something...."
YAY!!!
Oh and please please post "daily life" photos! I would LOVE to see the supermarket, products, magazines (do they have the equivalent to our trashy mags there?? I seem to remember some that were more about European royals and some celebs but none quite like In Touch, US Weekly etc).
You and Thorsten look so cute. Did you post about your London trip at all? I'm so soooo excited sweet lady!!!!
xoxo
