Anyone who knows me, knows how much I absolutely adore this little country I now call home, but what I love even more is getting to share it with those I love most. And at this time of the year … Icing. on. top.
My sister and her hubby arrived on Sunday to spend a few days with us before flying back to South Africa after a business trip in Genoa, Italy. We have 5 days, which isn’t nearly enough but after being apart for 9 months, we take what we can get. Alarm clocks have been moved forward and bed times are being stretched as we try to squeeze every last minute out of the limited time we have.
There is so much I want to show them and I want to ‘do it all’ but I know that I have to pare down my list and enjoy being with them more than going, doing, seeing and after two days, they’re already planning their next visit.
My forest was first on the list
followed by my cows
and an evening walk along Bahnhofstrasse
The Rhein Falls
Being an expat is not easy and it’s certainly not a snow globe scene where everything is so dreamy. But sometimes it is.
