In the meantime, I want to start a series of posts about a trip I took a while back with my wonderful friend Sally. Since today is the beautiful and talented Sally's birthday, what better time to start these posts. Sally and I met in BCC 100, an orientation class we had to take our freshman year at Berry. Now I don't like to brag, but we always refer to our group of classmates from that course as the famous BCC class. We were a great group and were a kind of a big deal. Plus, a lot of us were from Gwinnett County and as the water towers used to say "Gwinnett is Great. Success Lives Here."
Anyways, my good friend Sally is also a teacher and therefore had a week off from work around Easter. It just so happened that her week off alined with my week off and a plan was set in motion.
Alright, harsh truth time: I am sure that those of you in the same boat can attest, but before you move abroad for any extended period of time, there are always the people that say things like "Oh my gosh! That's so cool. I am going to come visit you! I really am!" They usually don't mean it. Traveling to Europe costs a lot of money and I understand people have other priorities. So when Sally first said she wanted to come visit...I was happy but knew it would likely not come to fruition. I had heard all of these promises before. So that day when she bought her plane ticket and there was no way out...I may have jumped up and down.
She arrived on a Friday morning and we hit the ground running. I have never crammed so much travel into such a short period of time. I was nervous beforehand, but it was a great trip.
Get excited for some great stories in the days to come!
Here is a picture of us being über-touristy on day one at the Hofbräuhaus:
Happy Birthday, Sally! Hope it's a great one!
