Not only because of the big things--you know, like the fact that I'm needing to learn a new language or that I live across an ocean from my "homeland." I like where I live because of the little things.
Like yesterday, for example. Yesterday I had a nice morning of homework. Then, I got to walk a couple miles through the historic center to my German class at the university. At German class, I got to talk with Davit from Syria and Katarin from the Czech Republic (we talked about apple struedel).
Then, I met Paul and on the way we stopped by the bakery for a loaf of bread, which they sliced for us. And, passing the market, we got our first bunch of spring asparagus (only, only, only thick, white asparagus here--people think the green kind is just strange).
Walking home from the market, I saw my favorite view, right before we turn onto our street--with the trees budding in front of a row of colorful old houses, with the giant St. Peter's Church tower behind.
It was a lovely day.
