I am back in Cologne, in the same hotel as I had stayed back in September, and staying the night so I can arrive at the airport early tomorrow morning. To go back to the States.
It's such a strange feeling. Today was a day of more goodbyes, though no tears fell this time. I said goodbye to the Lierses (Meerit gave me a big hug and fought back tears, while I told her that we will see each other again) and to Maryle. I said goodbye to my favorite bakery and told one of the two nice women who run it thanks. I said goodbye to Klein Hehlen, to my flat, and to the family dog, Baroo. Yesterday, I said goodbye to my field.
I said goodbye to Celle.
It's quite surreal. I can't accurately explain it, but I created a life for myself while living there, and I loved the job I was assigned. Now unemployed and going back to Alabama, I have to start from scratch.
A new adventure.
I love new adventures.
