Julie and I are able to stay with my host family that hosted me for the entire 8 months while I was a student at Salzburg College. They are as wonderful as they've ever been! They have unfailingly been so welcoming and generous towards me over the years! They are a very special family that I am so proud to know and love!
With the children a lot older now, I can actually speak to them in English and they can easily teach me or correct me with German! It's great to have chats with them! Julie is loving playing with the younger two children and is quickly learning more and more German words from them as well! 'Ich weiß es nicht' is one of her best responses now!! It translates to 'I don't know!'
Julie and I are so happy to be here and to be able to visit with old friends and meet new ones! We have already met some new folks at the Salzburg International Christian Church we attended on Sunday. It's the same congregation that was so welcoming to me all those years ago!
Yesterday we were able to meet up with a very dear friend who helped direct and manage the students at Salzburg College when I attended. It was so great to catch up with her and enjoy some tea and juice together! We also went to a historical open air museum outside of the city with my oldest host brother. It was so much fun!
Throughout the rest of our week in the amazing city of Salzburg, Julie and I hope to visit some more friends. We also plan to meet some new ones at the current Salzburg College. We hope the weather keeps some of the rain at bay and we can enjoy more of the sights that this city has to offer!
This city will always be in my heart. It's beautiful, friendly and smells so sweet wherever you go! I love all the old paths I remember so well in addition to the new trails we find ourselves upon! We will continue to enjoy and live to the fullest each of our days here in Salzburg!
