Prepping for Paris

Tomorrow we leave for Paris at 5:51am. Train from here to Stuttgart and then from Stuttgart to Paris.  I think it will be fun, except for the fact that the forecast is calling for rain, rain and more rain.  But at least it's warm and rainy. :)  Way to look on the bright side.

Pictures forthcoming.

Mission Accomplished

Ashley is here and after a long day of traveling, she is sleeping off the plane ride.  I would post a picture, but I think she might actually kill me if I did that.

We walked around the city a bit when she first got here, but shortly before I went to lunch she decided to lay down and take a nap.  That was 5 hours ago.  :)

At some point she'll get up, we will grab dinner and watch Germany beat Spain in the semi-finals of the world cup!!

Bad Blogger

I've been bad about keeping up with things - mostly because I haven't really gone anywhere or done anything terribly interesting.

This semester was full of research.  I've spent several weeks up at the literature archive in Marbach, and another week in Munich while Andy was here researching at the state library in Munich.

Tomorrow Ashley arrives and I will try to be better about updating - with photos while we are traveling to Paris, Berlin, Rome, Florence, Munich and to visit our family.  I'm so excited.  Her plane lands in Atlanta in 1 hour and 14 minutes according to the Delta airlines Web site.  Then she'll be on her way to Stuttgart where I will pick her up tomorrow morning.

YEA!!!!
