I have an appointment for tomorrow to get my car's headlight fixed. Yay.

The uni has a free series of webinars on financial planning, so I signed up. Can't hurt and might help.

I was mulling over adding a trip to Germany onto my bucket list. (Like I need another trip on my list!) I'd like to see Berlin, Munich, and Heidelberg. During World War II

Ohh I live near Munich and would absolutely love to see you when you come here! Where exactly was your dad? My dad's family (also Jewish) was in such a camp too after the war.

I'd love to see you too! My dad was in Memmingen.

Ahh! That is not far from us. Mine was in Murnau, which is near where I live now.

I hope you do go to Germany, it sounds like it would probably be a very memorable experience. One of my regrets is not going to a conference in Berlin about 6 years ago that I had the chance to attend. The people who went just loved the experience.

I'd really like to see Berlin! It's supposed to be a great city.

For me, German has been the easiest language to learn because it is so similar to English, though they use a LOT of compound words! I found it even easier than Spanish, which I have known for much longer. That said, I have lost a lot of my German, so I’m only conversational. I think you could easily study both German and Italian at the same time. I took French and German college courses at the same time and didn’t have any trouble. Good luck!

That's good to know. I found a German teacher who's available at a time that I'm free and who isn't really expensive, so I think that I'm going to study it.
