Christmas time

November 29, 2005

The weekend was perfect to get into that special Christmas mood. We had more snow on Saturday morning and it was freakin’ cold, so I bundled up and took the train to Köln. Surprisingly, Köln didn’t have any snow at all… but the Christmas market had started next to the ...

The first snow…

November 25, 2005

yes, believe it or not, we had the first snow last night. It’s unbelievable. We hadn’t had snow in November for many years (as far as I can remember… and when I was in Germany ;)), so it pretty much came as a surprise this morning when I looked out the window. It was really ...

Happy Thanksgiving

November 24, 2005

today is “turkey day” and I just wish I could be in Ventura with Jon and his family. I remember last year when we had this really delicious turkey roast and watched a movie later. It was so much fun. It has become a special holiday for me and I am kind of sad I am not really ...

Fun weekend

November 22, 2005

It started off with a really f***ed up train ride to Kiel. A real odyssey. None of the trains I was supposed to take was on time. One was canceled completely and considering that I had booked this really cheap ticket which meant that I was only allowed to take certain trains, I ended up taking ...

Romantic train rides…

November 17, 2005

I am almost done with packing my little suitcase and I’ll be off to a wonderful weekend soon. I am looking forward to get away. I will visit my friend Anke who has just recently moved to Kiel from Rostock and we’ll have a wonderful girls’ weekend together :) I’ve never ...

The miracle of children’s laugh…

November 16, 2005

it can really cheer you up. My sister asked me on Monday if I could go to school with her on Tuesday morning and fill in for one of her colleagues who usually helps her with the swim class. As a teacher, you’re not allowed to go swimming with a large group of kids on your own, but you ...

These feelings won’t go away…

November 14, 2005

I am restless. I’ve been staying up till three in the morning lately, because I can’t sleep and then, once I sleep, I won’t wake up for 10 hours. I don’t think it’s a late jetlag. I am really nervous right now and I can’t stop contemplating whenever I am ...

Kölle Alaaf…

November 11, 2005

yes, today it’s that day again… the Carneval Season starts in the Rhineland area – not that I would care, but I am taking my sister to the train station later and she’ll go to Köln to party. I am not a big Carneval fan myself. I somehow have a problem with “being ...

Visiting time…

November 8, 2005

wow, today was a busy day. I was gone for 12 hours straight… I had a lunch date with Ira to catch up on the latest news and we went to a Chinese Restaurant in town which has a nice buffet and we had soup, a main entree, ice cream and coffee :) After that I had promised to go and visit my ...
