13 more days in Paris. Suddenly our departure is coming closer quickly. In less than two weeks we’ll be sat in a plane that will take us to Cincinnati, Ohio. In the United States of America. Yes, sir!
Our agendas are more or less empty for now, which is scary and amazing at the same time. It’s a future waiting to be written, like a blank book with empty pages.
The main characters will be my husband and I – that’s for sure. And that’s why this won’t be a sad, lonely story, full of homesickness. We’re in this together, as we were before in London and Paris. It will also mean some parts of the book will be written in Dutch, just to make sure we don’t forget our mother tongue :)
The story will be set in Cincinnati, along the Ohio river.
The first chapter will definitely include the start of new jobs, househunting, Christmas and New Year celebrations, an ice-hockey game and some gym classes (just in case we like the American diet).
That’s all we know for sure.
Who will be the other characters: our friends, colleagues, neighbours?
Where will the stories happen, in a flat in downtown Cincinnati, a little house in Covington or a bit more east in Mount Adams, Lookout…?
Which stories will we tell? It’s impossible to predict.
In any case, I promise I’ll keep you posted as we write the first chapter in this new life!
