Just Call Me Narcolepsy Girl...

In the past 48 hours, I have fallen asleep everywhere it is possible for a person to fall asleep. I've fallen asleep so many times--including in public places surrounded by complete strangers--that I feel narcoleptic. Jet lag has been really unkind to me so far, but the good news is that Matt and I are here in Germany!
We arrived yesterday and are staying in a hotel until we can find a permanent home.
This place is beautiful. The temperature is in the high 60's, and it seems to rain a lot here, which Matt and I love. We're surrounded on all sides by lush green forests and hills. One of the first things I immediately noticed was the trees: there is actually more than one kind of tree here besides pine. Picture scenes from Disney's Beauty and the Beast: deep, thick forests, rolling hills, cute little villages. That's our new home. I love it here.
I'm going to conclude with a few pictures from our New Orleans honeymoon. Then I'm going to sleep. Again.

  1. Hi Rachel, Hi Matt,

    I'm so glad that you obviously had a wonderful time during your honeymoon. I love all your pictures.
    HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN IN DEUTSCHLAND !!!!!
    I'm happy that you had a good beginning in Germany - even that you love the chilly and rainy weather. You definitely need some "Gummistiefel". For example: http://www.zalando.de/damenschuhe-gummistiefel/
