SPF: YOUR PIGGIES

Well, you would think “Who would come up with THAT?”… well, Kristine did out of a strange mood of being a married woman now and she’s serious about it. This is her only SPF task this week.
So, this might be kind of weird, but I am posting a photo of my feet… luckily, I kind of like my feet, so I don’t care too much.

Now I want to know… DID YOU PLAY?

I LOVE KÖLN

When Jon and I move back to Germany eventually, I want to live in Köln. I love that city. My uncle Reinhard and my aunt Lisa live there and as a kid I already thought that was so cool :)
On Tuesday, my uncle had called me and asked if I would like to come and spend some time with them in Köln… so I met with my aunt in Downtown Köln yesterday morning and we spent the day in the city. We went window-shopping, bought some small things here and there and had some iced coffee in a small street café.

In the afternoon, we went back to their place. They live in a very old building on the top floor right under the roof. The apartment is just awesome. It has a little gallery right under the roof and a lot of roof beams dividing the living room. Plus, they have a nice little roof-deck. When my uncle came home from work, we had some drinks outside and waited for my sister who came to join us for dinner.

I wish I had brought my camera. I usually take my camera everywhere I go, but this time I had left it at home because the batteries needed to be recharged. Damn it. We sat outside till midnight. The view of the moon was amazing :) I am a moon-person – there is not one night that I don’t pay attention to the moon [ha, unless I can’t see it because of clouds or something like that]. We had a waning moon and we started talking about the lunar phases and why you can only see certain parts of the moon. This is so fascinating.

I stayed over night. In the morning we had breakfast together and then I went downtown again to meet with my parents who came to Köln for some shopping as well. I needed a new suitcase. A big one – and I mean, REALLY big. Since I am practically emigrating to CA [at least for the time being], I have to take quite some stuff with me and since the airlines allow rather two heavy suitcases, then giving you a weight limit, I have to try to squeeze as much as I can into two bags. It’s ridiculous, but that’s the airline’s policy… and suitcases are f***ing expensive. Luckily I found a nice bargain. Since I don’t plan to use that suitcase for regular travels, just for that one-time move, I went for it. So here’s the monster… do you like it? ;)
