I woke up this morning to complete silence. Kasel is almost always silent, but recently with the workers being here finishing the outside area, we've had consistent construction noise.
I had big plans to book my cousin's ticket over here, go to the market for dinner stuff, go to Hela (Home Depot-esqe) for plants, go to my German pilates class, get gas, go to the gym, etc. All that came to a halt when I realized, hm, it's silent outside, where are the workers?
The Germans take their holidays serious and with today being "The Ascension Day," EVERYTHING in Germany will be closed all weekend - no groceries open, no gyms, no travel agents, no workers here, no nothing. Kind of a nice thought, no one doing anything on holidays minus spending time with family (except for the fact that I put errands off until TODAY and now it is physically impossible for me to do them! WHOOPS! Also, not so sure what I can make for dinner, seeing as I haven't gone to the store in a week). Nevertheless, a very nice idea. Again, America should take some pointers.
Assuming there are no interruptions because of the volcanic ash cloud, Alex should be (fingers crossed) home tomorrow. I leave for Sardegna on Sunday, and my cousin Andrew will be here on Wednesday/Thursday! Good stuff.
