Home again

Home again... indeed it feels like it. Still I am not sated of this place. Although I enjoyed the time in Germany and Spain, I see this as the centre of my life. This is such a good mix of immersion in a culture I am still learning of and some valuable isles of my own cultural roots (our German friends here).
Our daughter Clara (19) however widens her horizon now in Granada with a study term abroad, and Lucas (18) has applied for a study post in Munich. So we are six at home now and soon will be only five. Luis (16) is still at school but he also starts thinking where to do his "OE", overseas experience - in Canada where his cousin Boris lives?
Next week I will be back to work at the hospital, and I hope to be able to maintain some work - life - balance. This can be difficult as I have chosen my actual job and a parallel training in clinician-performed ultrasound following my drive to the unfamiliar, unknown.
