We ventured to Sachsenhausen today to say good-bye to our friends here in Frankfurt. They wanted to eat lunch at their favorite German restaurant and enjoy their last glasses of genuine apfelwein. Sachsenhausen, a neighborhood in Frankfurt located "across the river," houses taverns, restaurants, and museum row - and housed them for the past year. I was off today due to Ascension Day, one of the four German holidays in May, so a lunch time date worked out perfect. (We discovered it's also Father's Day in Germany.)
Good-byes feel especially sharp here. I think sharing both the experience of being foreign and the familiarity of similar high school/college experiences bonded us quickly. I am sure Susan and Adam would have folded easily into both our high school and our college groups - a rare find. And another adjustment to our life in a new country.
