Walking in Dusseldorf

I enjoyed walking in Dusseldorf with you. I hope you can stay here and not go back and we can get a bigger apartment and we can all stay here together. I don't know why you think it is better to go back in the fall. I think that's stupid.

Taiwan Flights

I read in the news that Taiwan and China now have direct flights starting July 4th:

China-Taiwan Direct Flights.

I feel much better now that you and Isaac are here. In fact the sun is coming out by my office. Tonight we will come to the Dusseldorf city center and Altstadt, or "Old City", with narrow cobblestone streets.

Love,
Arley

Football Game

In Europe they call soccer "football", except in Germany it's "fußball", which you say "FOOS-ball". There is a championship match Thursday at 18:00 (6pm; they use military time in Germany, how appropriate) between Germany and Croatia. We can watch it together with Isaac if you're not too tired.

Love,
Arley

Trip

You are almost here and I have prayed for your safe journey. Please have a nice trip and relax.

Eager

I miss you today. I hope you are doing well. I miss you. Today I got a map of the rail and subway system. This will make it easier for us to get around. Please come quickly. I am eager for your arrival.

Love,
Arley

Airport

I checked the airport and its the one close by. It will be early in the morning. I'll take a cab up to see you.

I'm excited about seeing you and Isaac again. I hope you have fun here.

Love,
Arley

Transfer

Today I transfered the money for the apartment agent fee. It is surprisingly fast and easy to do things in a German bank. They seem to be more competent and efficient than the Americans.

Also you should have the wire for our invoice. I'd like us to open an account with Dan's sister for your investing. You can do what ever you want to for investing with it.

Today I got to see Rachel and Abigail on webcam. I sent them pictures of all the palaces we can visit close to Dusselsorf. One is even pink. I think you will like them.

I hope your dad is okay.

Love,
Arley

Books

Today I was at the bank to make the apartment deposit transfers. They had a used book sale there to benefit a childrens charity. There were lots of kids books at a low price so I purchased many. This way our kids will have something to read here that will also help their German.

Did you hear back on Isaac's passport yet? It is only a few days now. I am going to try taking the train near our hotel so I can figure out how it works.

Love,
Arley

Today I changed the bandages on my arm. Thanks to your care package I had lots of Neosporin.

I tried to email you to call me but I guess you were busy.

I am looking forward to you being here. I am especially looking forward to you taking ballet and pilates and being my skinny pretty trophy wife. Hopefully you can work at the university too.

Swimming

It was good to talk to you today. I am always happier when I hear the sound of your voice. There are many places we can go walking, shopping, swimming. Be sure to bring a swimming suit.

Hospital Day

Today I tried out the hospital system for you. I fell on my bike and got scrapes on my arm and a deep gash on my elbow, I had to get stitches. Fortunately I didn't hit my head, I was also wearing a helmet.

I did get to see more places around the city, and I rode by our hotel again. Every time I ride by the hotel I feel rejuvinated because it makes me feel closer to you. I am really looking forward to seeing my beautiful May again.

Love,
Arley
