We have fulfilled half of our obligation, spent half of our money, experienced half our adventure. We’ve consumed half the pretzels and beer, taken half of the pictures and put half of the miles on our BMW we will before we leave. We’ve seen half of Sports Night and half of another show I swore I’d never tell we watched. We’ve seen Ben and Nico grow half a year older. We’ve eaten half as many Sunday morning buns, killed half as many gargantuan spiders and slept half as many nights as we ever will in this apartment. We’ve read more than half the books, I’m sure. More than half of the longing for home, I hope. Less than half of our trips, if we’re lucky. Perhaps we’ve had half of our visitors. We’re nowhere near halfway to figuring out what we want to be when we grow up (we thought we might figure that out this year). We’re halfway through our year in Germany.

Congrats on the half way mark! We are counting the days until we can be your visitors! We still miss you just as much, not half as much! Linda

Lis! Way to go on your half year mark. I am so proud of your guys for doing this. Sounds like you have had lots of opportunities for sight-seeing along the way. Keep eating pretzels and drinking beer for me. I love your website, photographs and writing. How did you make it? I am going to Asia in a couple months and want to make a travel blog but none seem as cool as lisandtyler.com…please advise. LOVE love Love…Lily

I don’t think I’m halfway done missing you guys. It’s funny the things you get sad about and the ones where it’s a relief to have it half over – your list sounds very mixed. Can’t wait to have you back.
