Jetzt bin ich wieder zu Hause!
Alright! I finally made it back home, intact, with all my luggage! I am certainly done flying for awhile.
But I am already missing Germany very sorely! I miss the mountains the most, I think. I couldn't resist taking one last picture at the airport.
This last week is one that I'll certainly remember. I had so many good times with old friends that I saw again and the new friends that I made. We made quite a few inside jokes (that I'm keeping to myself so I don't run the risk of having to say, "guess you just had to be there!") that will always bring a smile to my face. Chris says I'm a different person than when I left. Germany brought back that wild side that I let lapse in my real life here. I tried to explain to Chris that Germany is just a place where I feel at home and can be my whole self, even if I don't live there anymore. I think he understands since Milwaukee has always (obviously) been that place for him when we moved away.
I don't think words could explain how much I miss that country and all of my friends there.
While I was there, I worked solely on my toe-up Jaywalker which I have named Black Tie Affair (ravelry link). This sock has knitted into it all of my stresses of flying, all of the fun, all of the calm, all of the memories from my trip. I love this sock.
Once I had the chevron pattern memorized, the rest kind of went along like any normal sock that I do. I love how the yarn stripes perfectly around the leg. It's a cool sock, no?!
