We are sad to leave Murnau, but lucky to be able to call Murnau home. As we prepare to move on, I thought we could list things we will miss and not miss:
We will miss:
Tobias: I will miss the little town, my friends like Maxi, Livi, Jannis and Kilian I will miss being so independent biking around everywhere, practicing soccer next to the lake, wearing house shoes in school, and the Maibaum.
Hansi: I miss my friends, like Ole, Jare, Jannis, Maxi and Phillip. I miss my soccer team and coaches. I miss the beach and the gelato. I also miss my teachers, like Frau Rehfeld.
  |
| Tobi, Coach Wolfgang, Hansi, Coach Richie and a few members of the E team, |
Gia: I will miss all of the friends that I made and how nice they were to me. I will also miss my drama free experience. I will also miss having a different schedule everyday and having a lot of breaks and getting out so early. In addition to that is that I will miss my independence.

| Blanca and Anni |
  |
| Nina and Annika |
 |
| Annika, Philippa und Helena |
Annika: I am going to miss being independent and walking/biking everywhere I would like to go. I meet up with my friends a lot without having my parents drive me. I am most definitely going to miss my friends. I am also going to miss all the German that I have been speaking. I will miss the little city and meeting new people everyday. Lastly, I am going to miss taking the trains to bigger cities with friends.
Carla: I will miss our terrific family, our wonderful friends, the glorious and dramatic Alps, the many lakes and rivers, the fresh produce and meats from the butcher, markt and bakery. I will sorely miss our family time and our daily family breakfast and dinners together. I will miss Murnau's füßgängerzone, the little cafes and gelaterias, men walking in their traditional clothing, the smooth, well-maintained country roads I bike on, the soccer fields and calm soccer games and kid's sporting events and lack of paperwork and crazy rules. I love the feeling my kids safely bike and get themselves around town. I love that my kids are safe in school because no one, except police, has a gun. I will miss the Maibaum, the fun German songs on the radio.
Peter: I will miss our friends, my family, the beer, gelato and work hours.
We wont miss:
Tobias: I won't miss speaking German and I wont miss people smoking.
Gia: I won't miss being teased all day at school and people smoking.
Annika: I won't miss the complexities of German.
Carla: I won't miss driving, (Germans are not very nice behind a steering wheel), lines, shopping in grocery stores, cigarette smoke and ignorant smokers (they never think that there smoking could bother anyone). I wont miss the neo-nazi's, their office, the plethora of crucifixes or the vulgar english songs overplayed on the radio.
Peter: I won't miss the endless grey clouds and traffic police.
