Today on the train back from research, we heard a guy say, “Sorry” to someone he bumped into and we automatically thought American. Krista asked the guy if he was from America or Britain. The man said that he lived in America but was born in Iran and after living in California he moved to Germany and is now working in geophysics as a seismologist and he married a Russian woman. His 18th month old is now learning Farzi, Russian, German, and English. We played with his son and talked to him for the rest of the train ride to Karlsruhe and as we were about to get off another man approached us and told us that he was from Michigan and he composes the music that plays in the short videos in museums. I didn’t even know there were such people who did that. He also plays the saxophone and loves Germany more than America because it has a lot operas and promotion of the arts. He is now a professor in Karlsruhe, too. It was so cool to talk to other Americans and they were so friendly, which is a definite plus. I feel like the Germans would be nice too if only I could speak German. All in all today was pretty good and we got to meet some awesome people.
Adios,

Your Grandma Nan is my foster sister. She sent me the link to your blog. I hear about you all the time from her. You have done a great job on your blog. The design and colors are awesome. I will read your online diary often. It sounds like you are meeting some nice folks and you are having the experience of a lifetime. From what I hear of you though, this may be just the beginning.
