Origins

Only a couple things to report today.  Today, we went to my Grandma's home town.  I was able to see back 3 generations ago.  The town itself was tiny and pretty.  Even more amazing was how close the Rhine river was to the town (Many gardens were flooded) due to all of the rain we've gotten.

On topic from my last post, my grandpa pointed out today that when I start trying to talk too fast in German, I stutter and mess up much more then when I take my time and think carefully on what I want to say.  One day and I've already been told to slow down.

Finally, it takes forever for me to fall asleep.  I'm going to start focusing on techniques that might help me fall asleep better, and if anything works, I'll report back.  Normally I try to shut the world out and focus on nothing.  So tonight I'm going to try to be aware of everything that's happening and go from there.
