Well, the weather in Basel and Baltimore has thankfully parted ways. It has stayed pleasantly cool in Basel while it is now miserably hot and humid in Baltimore. I have also added Vienna to the comparison as I have applied for a job there, we'll see how that goes. I have no idea what my chances are but I figured what the heck. It is rather warm in Vienna as well, upper 80s (30C) today, though it is supposed to drop down into the 70s (~25C) again by the end of the week.
MrB is getting surgery for a severed ACL and partially torn miniscus in about a week, and for the next couple of weeks he will be at home recovering. He is planning on getting his fellowship application written during that time, though it isn't due till the beginning of September. That just means we'll have time to get some friends to review it and hopefully get it nicely polished.
He got me a very cute book in German for my birthday called 'Wie Schön ist Panama' about a little tiger and a little bear who find some bananas and set out on a search for Panama, where the lovely bananas are from, which they imagine is very beautiful. I'm still working on the translation. I just hope that it is easier to learn if you're surrounded by it, because my learning so far has been pretty random!
