Almost there!

Hello dear Friends!

Boy, it's Monday morning and raining again!!! The weather here in Munich is just not cooperating. The sunny days of California seem so surreal! Everything seems more bearable though since we found an apartment! I will go tomorrow and sign the contract, Carlo has already signed it since he will be traveling all week. We are VERY excited. Leaving the hotel will be a glorious moment as it is getting really OLD. Having a real kitchen again and enough space for our clothes will be wonderful–along with the fact that the cleaning service will not wake me twice a week. :-) No really, it'll be nice to use our own washer and having our own sheets and towels.

More details on the apartment .... to come tomorrow.

The weekend was a bit overshadowed because Carlo had another pinched nerve in his back. We were about to leave the house on Saturday when he realized he had trouble walking. We stayed home for the rest of the weekend and I was taking care of him the best I could. Stretching, muscle relaxers, ibuprofen, ice and streching...
If we would have been able to go downtown we might have seen politicians like Vladimir Putin, or several ministers of defense, as many of them came together in Munich for the defense and security forum.


Today, Carlo is back at work and has a daunting week ahead of him: trips to Rome, Frankfurt, Zurich, Geneva. He will be travelling all week. I worry about his back, yet equipped with drugs, ice packs and elastic bands for stretching he could be mistaken for a man with fantasies! If you know what I mean! :-)

Tonight one of my good girlfriends will spend the night here at the hotel, as she has an appointment here in Munich on Tuesday morning. It'll be great to see her and have some company.

My dad will visit on Wednesday and I'm sure we will have a look at our new apartment together.
Again, I will report a bit more tomorrow. :-)

All the best, until tomorrow!!

Cheers,
Ines
