Anfang

I am on sabbatical with wife Hannah Jo at the Pädagogische Hochschule Ludwigsburg, Germany, for the academic year 2010–2011. This is our second sabbatical in Germany as we visited PHL in 2001–2002 as well with our two boys, then 10 and 13, who are now college students and on their own.

The trip and preparations deserve an entry of their own. Suffice it to say that there were a few "bumps" but we made it. Here's a picture of Hannah Jo with a year's worth of luggage in the Frankfurt Airport. HJ's is marked with a "T" and Bill's with an "X".

We're staying in the PHL's Guest Apartment until March, when another guest arrives. It's a lovely 3-bedroom Wohnung in a 3-apartment building in a wooded, secluded area on the northernmost tip of the campus, adjacent to Favorite Park, Ludwigsburg's largest park, the middle of the trio below.

We still have many things to do before we've fully moved in and hope that you'll become a "Follower" of our deutsches Abenteuer by clicking on the "Follow" button at the top right.
