After many long hours of transit, we finally made it to Germany! We were met at the Munich airport by my advisor and host, Björn. He graciously escorted us through a whirlwind of logistical errands, enough to get ourselves at least semi-setup and self-sufficient. We opened a German bank account, rented a car, got keys to the office, and got situated in our temporary apartment. I should also mention that Björn provided us with not one but two breakfasts at his house that day, plus several rounds of strong and delicious coffee, which David imbibed with gusto.
Did we mention that our rental car is rather small? Far from inconspicuous, I might add. Getting in and out of the backseat while maneuvering the baby into her car seat without bumping anyone's head is nearly a contortionist feat. We're getting pretty good at it though!
We immediately set about working in the office, taking advantage of the high speed internet connection to try to take care of the many details of our new international lives.
The Wren was fairly patient with us as we waded through these office tasks.
But we were all really happy to finally get some sleep.
