Notes

Bavaria

visited Bernhard in Bavaria. it was so cool to see the mountain and rivers and lakes that he’s spent months so fondly describing to me. I only wish I had scheduled more time to spend there - it was easy relaxing, and it was nice to stay in a “real home” instead of all these shoddily-furnished dorms, hostels, student housing, and couchsurfers living rooms.

It makes me realize how few of my boyfriends have seen where I grew up, which makes me kind of sad. I want to say hey! this is the land that shaped me, this is where I got my first ideas of what the world was like, these are the places that helped to shape my interests and the various personality quirks that make me who I am, the person you like! but, I never live anywhere near home, so it’s hard to date someone who could reasonably visit. I suppose.
