When my little sister was leaving Germany after one of her many study abroad programs, her host father gave her the "no matter how far away we are we will both be looking at the same moon" speech that while true and heartfelt is a bit cliche at this point. I was thinking about that today while walking back from the gym. I happened to look up and for probably only the fourth time since moving here looked at the stars and really realized I don't recognize a single damn one. No Polaris or Orion's Belt to give me a frame of reference. I had to whip out my phone and fire up Google Sky Map to even find the Southern Cross which is a bit embarrassing. I am going to have to spend more time star gazing and do Mrs. Hennig proud.
