Ok so we're finally on our own for the first time during our six week trip throughout Europe, meaning no friends or familiar faces, in Dresden a part of Germany where people speak very limited English. Quite refreshing actually, though full of awkward moments. When trying to ask to buy a piece of paper or learn how to use a copy machine at the copying store, or just going to the post office, suddenly all these routine activities become Olympic feats and offer plenty of amusment and embarrassment on both sides. However, I must say, Lisa and I are thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
