I left Royal Oak on 8/24 to arrive in Geneva on 8/25 in my temporary housing location until I find permanent housing later this month. Leaving Royal Oak was an interesting experience given all of the great friendships that I've made over the past 8 years; I had a different going away party everynight for 2 weeks straight up to my flight! I welcome visitors over the next few years while I'm over here.
I left Detroit with 3 large suitcases and was dropped off by the BroffBergs and arrived with everything surprisingly other than lack of sleep given there was crying baby onboard.
This week will be spent trying to become acclimated to my new surroundings before work begins next week. My 1st trip the the grocery store was 'interesting;' I spent an hour wandering in search of the essentials and struggled given the changing brands and the the language barrier. I was unable to find coffee filters until my 2nd trip today so that was a small victory for the day! I'm sure there will be plenty more fun experiences as part of this process....stay tuned!
