The First Two Weeks

From In Berlin Hello! So I have been here just over 2 weeks now which is a bit crazy and things are finally coming together. I really like our apartment. Lots of room and it is very quiet as we are a block off the main road. We finally got some furniture last week so the place is not as empty and we actually have chairs to sit on and a bed to sleep in (that is not the noisy air mattress). I even have my craft table set up, but I am still looking for storage for my fabrics and such (the ones I wanted were out of stock). Yesterday I sewed up curtains for the front windows so we can have the privacy blinds (big metal blinds that come down and cover the front windows and are on most of the ground floor windows around town) up and Raymond won't freak out that people can see in.The bedroom/my craft room is pretty much done. The back of the house gets much better light during the day so I set up shop back there to take advantage of it. If I worked in the front rooms I would need the...

Hello from Berlin!

This blog started as a way to detail all of our adventures in life starting with hiking the PCT in 2008. I haven't kept up with it and I didn't write about any of our smaller adventures we have had since then. However after plotting and planning for almost 2 years we have moved to Berlin so I think this is a great time to write about this newest adventure! Not sure how often I will update it but whenever I have something to say :) So why and how did we end up here? Well we visited Europe in 2010 just for fun and to see if we could find a city we might want to move to. We both instantly loved Berlin. We were here in late Sept mid week and just had an amazing time and it just felt like home. We were walking around and it felt like a weekend day - we were just our and about eating, lounging in the park, etc. Once we got back we saved like crazy since we thought we would have to go back to school (school is free but you have to prove you can live for a year without working so ...

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g...
