So we pulled the trigger on tickets for the summer trip. After much deliberation we decided to pass over a trip to India and a trip to Egypt/Turkey and ended up deciding on a Germany/Belgium/Switzerland combo. August 7-22, escaping the heat of Japan for the Swiss Alps. We’ll spend most of the time in Germany and Switzerland, and I’m hoping to reserve tickets on the Glacier Express for a trip through the mountains.
I’m starting my German studies today, but compared to some of the other languages I’ve studied it should be quicker to pick up. I have plenty of time to work it out.
Today is Friday and after work we’ll be hosting some of Kuniko’s coworkers for a BBQ party. We’ll be grilling steaks and opening the red wine, thanks to our Costco run last weekend. The rain has stopped and it is supposed to be much warmer today, so I’m looking forward to getting behind the grill.
Hopefully I’ll be in decent enough condition this weekend to blog the aftermath…
