A warm welcome!

After travelling across the Atlantic to a foreign country where I don't speak the language and don't know anyone (well except der Junge!)... and don't have a job, I was sure that I would be pretty homesick.

But...

der Junge has wonderful colleagues and already a pretty big social network as his company is international and the exchange of workers to/from Germany/Brazil/US/etc is very common.  So I arrived on Saturday, we were invited to dinner with friends on Sunday... the next day German class started (and is now every Mon-Wed-Fri).... on Thursdays, I have a standing invitation to a "wives" coffee gathering....  and tonight we went to a German class gathering organized by our German teacher at the restaurant Piazza!  Plus with moving to a new place, taking care of our dog, learning where to buy groceries and other items, I have been too busy to be homesick!  So far, so good! :)

der Junge and I at Piazza with new friends!
