The silver lining for me was the surprise of feeling so much at home. As part of my family is German/Austrian/Hungarian, much of the food, the sounds, the language, the smells hit places in my heart that went waaaaaay back to my childhood in my grandparents little German Village in Brazil. I could even remember some of the German I used to hear as a child and studied in high school and was able to understand a big part of everything that was being said.
That of course was not the same for my ability to speak German, as my brain stubbornly wanted to speak Swedish with a German accent. Even some ”SI” came out of my mouth while trying to communicate with the adorable 86 year old Austrian lady that ran the hotel we were staying at.
A weekend to remember for years. Promise to blog more and try to describe our experience with better words as soon as I go through the 7000 pictures we both have taken!
Have a great midsommar weekend!
