Thinking about all the travel that is accessible to me has re-awakened the Sara Abernethy that got herself this awesome gig in Germany. No more time to be wasted being sad in this time of opporunity!
I decided I was going to plan for one big trip per month. As I continue to (hopefully...) meet people, maybe I'll be able to get someone to travel with! This month, I will be headed to BERLIN to visit the lovely Miss Amanda Franklin, and to scrape the surface of all it has to offer. Surely, I could spend months in Berlin soaking it up, but I will have to make do with a few days. I'm really thrilled about seeing the Brandenburg Gate and some of the other amazing sights. I'm also hoping to take a day trip to Antwerp, Belgium to visit "die zwei Pieters" that I met at the Hofbrauhaus in Munich!
In May, I'm planning to make my pilgrimage to the motherland...a visit to the village of Abernethy, Scotland, U.K. I thought about stopping in London on the way up...but I've decided against it. This trip will be solely dedicated to Scotland. I'm going to stop in Glasgow to visit Mr. Brian Fisher from my days at Enloe, so it will be good to see him again, and have a friendly, familiar face to have a beer with. Abernethy is apparently a city full of history...there's even a museum! I'm really looking forward to it...I'll probably get off the bus and just start weeping.
June, I'm coming back to the States for a sec...so travels for June are TBD.
I also found a fantastic website called "Toytown", it's a huge forum for English speakers living in Germany! There are several posts put up by young people in Dusseldorf and Cologne who are stumbling around, just like me, looking for friends to hang out with. PERFECT! I even responded to a post for some people looking for others to get together with a guitar and play some music! I'm really nervous about putting myself out there, but I know that it's the only way I'm going to meet people and make friends!
Also...today I just started googling "Germany" and "auditions" and got a number of hits for MUSICALS like Sister Act and other things....so I think I'm going to try to go to some of these. They're huge open calls just like in the States, and hey, it couldn't hurt! Who knows what might happen!
Travel. Friends. Auditions. All of these exciting prospects, not to mention the fact that SPRING is finally here....have really gotten my spirits back up about being here. Also really looking forward to going to see Madama Butterfly in Cologne on Sunday night!
