As I begin my second week in Weimar, I have to thank my family, and especially my husband Patrick, for supporting me in my sabbatical sojourn. It is such a luxury to have personal time to think, study, read, walk, and connect with life in a relaxed manner. I love the international aspect of my work in Weimar -- watching the young people build relationships over food, music and during their free time before and after rehearsals. But I also enjoy having time alone to reconnect to my former life in Germany. I find myself walking into stores to look at foods or clothes and indulging in the small exchanges of daily life with local people. Everyone has a story. When I say that I am here with the Weimar Bach Academy, there is often some connection to music or singing, which someone will share.
This morning is free for the choir. So I am off for a walking tour of Weimar and a visit to the Goethe Haus. More to follow!
This is the weather forecast for the week:
