However, it didn't work out. A similar arrangement would be great for us, but we haven't found any. I don't want to give up homechooling, but the European laws are so complicated in that respect. I have lived in the U.S. for 20 years now, almost half my life. I do like many aspects in the U.S. and many in Europe. That's why life on both continents would be ideal for me. I think it's great for you to have your German history right there in NYC. Maybe my grandchildren will one day have similar connections to certain places. At least my children hopefully feel at home on both continents as well. It really helps that German is not a foreign language to them and that they have been able to talk to people in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. <br /><br />Sending you a big hug back from the north of Germany.

The people have a wonderful sense of aesthetics, and a respect for the environment. Do you ever think of trying to live in Europe with Peter, rather than the US? I've had two friends who found they couldn't live in the States and had to go back to their respective homes. One was from Argentina, and the other from Catalania. But then I also knew a woman from Salzburg, who would never think of moving back and loved living in Brooklyn. I think I'd love to live in Vienna, or Munich, or Rome, or Venice . . but never would because my family is here. Of course, my grandmother left her family to come and live and work in NYC. She was a German cook for a family on Park Avenue, before going into a deli business with her cousin. My grandfather owned a tavern on Fourth Avenue at 12th Street in 1911. I pass the spot many times when going to Third Street Music School. I love thinking of him serving beer and sandwiches and pickles there! He also had a bulldog named Jack. I guess living in NYC gives me the sense of history I crave . . and I like thinking of my ancestors working and walking about in the city I now call home. <br /><br />Enjoy the beauty of Austria, and now Switzerland! Traveling is so special. Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />We send all of you a big hug :)dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-38035999954576859362013-06-14T03:28:46.633-04:002013-06-14T03:28:46.633-04:00Wie gut, ich habe noch welche, die ich empfehlen k...Wie gut, ich habe noch welche, die ich empfehlen kann, doch muß ich so eine Liste erst zusammenstellen.

We didn't pay that much, believe me. <br /><br />I also would like to say, "Happy belated birthday." I have the date in my calendar, but haven't really looked at it for quite a while. When packing for the trip to Switzerland, I realized that I missed the day. I'm so sorry. I will send you a little something soon. <br /><br />Love to all of you.
