Melissa's Amusings: Germany Vacation- Settling In At Justin's

The next phase of our vacation is the Germany section of our vacation. During the next week we went on 3 day trips, using Justin's house as the homebase. Even though Justin has been living there since February, his 'slow' shipment of household goods will be just arriving. During this transition period, he has been using the Air Force's loaner furniture and his 'fast' shipment, which was whatever he had stored at our house; mostly games, computer, and clothes...obviously the 'essentials' for living :-) We spent a little time organizing what he had there to make room for his next set of belongings.

Quite a bit of paraphernalia without a place to put it :-(

New shelving helped for organizing his games.

Now that he is prepared for the movers, we take time for other activities.

and laundry :-)

There was plenty of relaxing time doing our own thing in the same room. Computers, reading,and...

right behind them, I am taking advantage of this window.....

for a little bird watching.

We enjoyed the experience of shopping at the local food market and eating Jim's cooking :-)

I really think this is a good pic of Jim...would of been better if his eyes were open.

Justin's shipment arrives and we enjoy the comfort of his furniture :-)

Using Justin's nice, cushy, dining room chairs with the Air Force's table. Justin's table was missing the bolts for attaching the table to the pedestal :-(

This setting is a bit more comfy :-)

Germany in May is quite damp, I believe it drizzled off and on almost every day. However, with all that moisture comes a very lush, green landscape. Nathaniel and I went exploring one afternoon and took off from a footpath that runs by Justin's backyard.This path led us to a very narrow road....
