A Bit of an Update

Hello Blog Readers!

Happy March! Thus begins my 7th full month here. Incredible! All 28 days of February came and went fairly quickly- and as far as SPEC time goes- it was abnormally abrupt due in part to our week long half-term break the 3rd week of the month.

That week I could be find tooling around the great country of Denmark with my cousin Katie and fellow YAGM Becca. With limited luggage, a Tom-Tom, and a dream in our heart (I'm still trying to figure out what that dream was exactly...) we took to the open Danish road. I am happy to report we did meet along the way the man we had originally come to see, Matt Plank. We spent 24 hours in Hamburg, Germany escaping Danish prices and giving Matt a change in scenery from his Watermark Denmark tour schedule. That and because Germany is sweet. If I'm to spend a good chunk of my life explaining my name and my parents' unusual choice in naming their children names from a heritage they know little about- well then golly- I'm going to experience that heritage fully! I achieved this by eating plenty of pastry, Haribo, finding a statue of Martin Luther, walking up the "sex district" known as the the Reeperbahn and trying in vain to find a touristy trinket with my name on it.



More on our Denmark/Germany experience in my March newsletter- which I hope hits inboxes within the next couple of weeks.

All in all--- we're truckin' right along through the year here- Plenty of retreats and happenings to keep the community spirit alive and its members busy!
