I arrived in Bruchsal last Sunday, January 7th, and right away met my landlady, Ms. Gredler. She has connections everywhere in Bruchsal, and she has been incredibly helpful to me. Right now I am staying in the downstairs apartment which is very nice, but in two more weeks I will move to the upstairs apartment which is even nicer. Here are a few of my current roommates:
On my first day at Peter’s clinic, one of the first people I met was my colleague from America, Sherry Reeves and her daughter Shiloh. It was really great to follow their treatments all week, especially because their sessions with Peter were translated into English.
All last week I sat in on Peter’s sessions with his patients. It was both wonderful and terrifying! Wonderful to hear him expounding his theories, and terrifying to realize the current inadequacy of my German. However, it can only improve as time passes!!
On the whole, I am really enjoying being in Germany. The rhythm of things is quite different here. Lots of businesses close for a couple of hours midday, early on Saturday, and all day on Sunday. The thing to do on Sunday is eat a long and delicious meal with friends or family, and then take a walk. I walked through this field this afternoon. Yes, it is this green in January, no doubt due to global warming, but it is supposed to be cold tomorrow. Let’s see how I will cope with real weather!

Sounds great, am happy for you and your exciting adventure, looks like the upstairs may be a little more commodious( without the horny beasts looking over you shoulder)
School for me is good, lots of studying!!!
all my best
