Fiction - At age fifty I moved from California to a country I had never been to before, Austria. Not speaking the German language made the adventure even more challenging. The three year journey was teeming with laughter, discovery and peril.
I lived my entire life in California. After divorcing my husband of twenty four years I was longing for an adventure. My daughter had visited Graz Austria for one week and said that it would be the perfect place to live. I didn't speak German and the idea of learning a new language and starting a new life sounded exciting. I booked a hotel for two weeks and within that time I signed a three year lease for a flat, figured out how to get utilities, a phone, and so much more.
