I Made It!

June 10, 2022. I Made It! I am stamped in under my French Visa.

I arrived yesterday morning at the Basel/Mulhouse airport, much the same as I always do when I visit. Everything looked the same…but I felt differently. I am now on the first leg of my journey toward being an American expat in France.

I will stay with my son in Basel for a few days before venturing up to my Air B&B apartment in Muhouse (muh-looze) (see photo of Mulhouse below), then I’ll return to Basel for Art Basel next week. I am able to travel freely between countries, I just have to maintain some sort of residence in France.

My first task is to visit a French Bank, set up an account and begin my search for a permanent address in France while enjoying a few of the sightseeing ventures on my Bucket List and paint my life away in Europe.

The sun is shining, life is good and I am back to normal with no jet lag (I am fortunate that I rarely get jet lagged)!
