After the craziness that is taking eight large pieces of heavy luggage through multiple forms of public transportation we have made it safe and sound to our new home in Leipzig, Germany. It´s wonderful! For a city the air is so quiet and so clean! Everyone takes their dogs everywhere, even inside stores and the mall--and they´re so well behaved! We can´t wait for our pups Mika and Bella to come over.
The lifestyle here is fantastic. Everyone walks, runs, or rides their bike to where ever they want to go (and, of course, their dogs go along with them). Because of this, the people are so fit! There´s hardly any overweight people at all in Leipzig.
Just down the street is a main entrance to a HUGE park that we´ve barely begun to explore. Apparently, we can follow the trails south all the way to a lake with a beach.
We´re currently trying to learn the language, which is going to be tough, but not quite as tough as we thought it would be. Why? Well, before coming, people told us--"Everyone over there speaks english, so it will be pretty easy to get around, but that will make it a bit hard to learn German, because everyone wants to practice their English." NOT TRUE! We´ve encountered, in the past 3 days, MAYBE four people who spoke our language. This means that, although right now it´s quite difficult, learning the language will happen quicker than we thought. It will have to.
Until next time,
Craig and Amy Goodwin
