library

today at lunch I ate sauerkraut and bratwurst. it was very German of me. while it looked like a large heavy meal I thought "when in Deutschland..."

I'm sitting in my hotel lobby where I finally figure out how to access free wifi. across the lobby from where I'm sitting is a cigarette vending machine. they take a fairly liberal view of most things it seems. there is a VERY strong bike culture in Germany, but no one wears a helmet.

this morning as I got caught up on my work emails I felt a new sensation in my abdomen. I stopped what I was doing to concentrate and a moment later ther was another sensation - that could be described as popcorn like. I FELT THE BABY MOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!! one of the neatest things about having a baby is that the person I instantly and instinctively wanted to call and tell right away also happens to be the same person who is the baby's daddy and equally invested in this person. i like sharing this experience with the person I'm most attached to in the whole world.

last night I slept straight thru the night, which I'm mighty pleased about. I'm gonna go write postcards, read my book and watch some world news.

I hope all is well with you, wherever you are.
