Work in Europe for 13 months..

"Work in Europe for 13 months" - That was the headline of the Craigslist add that I applied to in June 2011. Just four months later, I said farewell to Seattle and arrived at my new home in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. While here, I will be working at Edelweiss Lodge and Resort and traveling throughout Europe...

The Kramer and Lake Eibsee

Spring is here in Garmisch and the snow is gone! We have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Took a hike up the Kramer which is right behind the building we live in and spent a day at the nearby lake.

Lake Eibsee





 We rented a little paddleboat and went for a cruise on the lake!

Fruhlingsfest

Fruhlingsfest is Munich's Spring beer festival held on the same fairgrounds as Octoberfest. I ended up going three times this year... just saying!

This was also Josh's first trip to Munich!
Not the smartest idea with a bruised tailbone...oh well!

My Co-workers!




 Round two with Tim & Amanda who were on vacation in Germany. We met up and spent a day in Munich together. It was so great to see friends from home!





The next week Stephanie and Matt came to visit too!! I was so happy to see them. I had been gone for six months and it was a much needed taste of home! I am having an amazing time here and I am very grateful for the experiences, but I am even more grateful for the loving family and friends I have back home and look forward to getting back eventually.






I borrowed a drndl for Steph to wear at Frulingsfest! It is so much fun to dress up and dance to all the traditional Bavarian songs!
