So, watching your own country's elections from across the ocean is very strange. First of all, it's strange just how much coverage the local media gives to the US elections. I know this is just naivete on my part, but until moving abroad, I really did not realize just how present the US is in everyday life all over the world. I guess when you grow up in it you just assume that everyone else grows up saturated in their own culture they way you are in yours, not that they are saturated in yours too!
In answer to your questions, yes I did vote. Absentee as a New Yorker. I'm sure no one has any idea who I voted for... And it is so nice to finally have an election, in which I was old enough to vote, that I didn't feel was going lead to the country deeper and deeper into doom. I mean the Democrats have a very tough job ahead of them, but at it won't be the insanity we've had for the last six years.
Now a short update with less timely content. Last week I headed across the channel to Austria. Well okay, across the channel and a few countries. I spent a lovely week on some short hikes, exploring Munich, and at a Zellhof Camp reunion weekend. Pictures below.
