First email...first impressions

So...I am supposed to send an introductory email to the rest of my team...and I am really stressed out about it. First impressions are everything, you know? I remember last year that my Camp Director's first email was extremely short and left me with lots of questions, so I am trying to be thorough. At the same time I am afraid of overwhelming my team with too much information. While I was writing this introductory email, however, I did a bit of research about the place I will be living/working at this summer.

I am stationed at Rheindahlen British Garrison in the North Rhine-Westphalia state of Germany. For those of you who are geographically challenged, North Rhine-Westphalia borders Belgium and the Netherlands. It is a really central area which is convenient for me because I plan on country-hopping this summer. From what I have researched the climate is pretty mild--upper 60s to high 80s during most of the summer, which sounds like paradise. Today at work I met a woman from Germany, but all she could talk about was Prague! Prague sounds amazing...I hope I can visit someday.

Better get back to writing that email! Countdown to Germany: 57 days
