Settling in....

"I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself." ~James Baldwin

Well, my apartment is furnished. Thank goodness for AFZ. The German's aren't such bargain hunters as we Yankees, but somehow the merchandise flies out of this store- if you see something at least put a hold on the piece or it will be gone tomorrow. The profits benefit special needs individuals, so it feels good to shop here.

I went on a long day trip into Poland. The bus from the post left at 4am and we returned at 10pm the same day. About 10 hours was driving- I slept about 7 of those- and the other 8 was spent looking and buying beautiful Polish pottery from the town of Boleslawiec. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boleslawiec_Pottery
Those of your from Philadelphia might remeber the French store Carrefour. It was located by Oxford Valley (???). There was one here and I bought my lunch there.
I plan to take advantage of these excursions when possible.

Work at the dental clinic has its ups and downs as I adjust. The last few days have been better as I get the routine down. There is definitely a need for dentists in these military clinics. There are two Army specialists- Pedo and Endo, two Army general dentists and five contractor general dentists (like me). It is a much larger operation than I expected. The one good thing is that teeth are teeth- thank goodness. No one should be surprised that I have found aspects of the clinic to complain about !!! I can't change too much.

Still no computer in my apartment. The one I had ordered mysteriously disappeared after the supposed shipment. That is my excuse for not posting to the blog. Can't add pictures on the Army computers, but I can add links to show anything interesting.

Bye for now....June
