End of year school picnic

I went to the school end of year's picnic and it was very emotional. It is an international school and therefore, many people just keep on coming and going. Some are there for just a few months while others have been there for 2, 3 up to 6 years before moving again. And so, there were a few tears... Sign in to see full entry.

Re-discovering through the eyes of children

Our visitors from Canada have just left for Italia. A week with them was too short. Actually, the time at the moment seems to fly away so fast, we can barely feel it! It was great to re-discover some places through their eyes: seeing the 4 castles in Neckarsteinack, the Heidelberg Castle and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone! We have some friends from Canada that arrived yesterday and are here for 5 days. That's great! It's been a while since we saw them.

Baby-brother got married yesterday...

My youngest brother got married yesterday. I wasn't there. They somehow "forgot" in the excitement of choosing a date (after being together for 5 years and having a kid) that we were coming back at the end of July and that making two trips between Germany and Canada might be a bit expensive?...

On the Bike From Bad Wimpfen to Zwingenberg

We finally did it! We went for a nice bike ride along the Neckar but this time from Bad Wimpfen. We have been thinking of doing it for a while now, but every time something happened: It rains, one of us was sick, some friends showed up etc. But not this time! We went for the usual Saturday morning... Sign in to see full entry.

There it goes again, the fire alarm! Or..

A little bit more on the little things that make Germany different.. It has been feeling like summer since the begining of May (not that we had a real winter or anything) and ice cream is in big demand. Germans love ice cream and there is Eis Café (Ice cream parlour or café) everywhere. They must be... Sign in to see full entry.

Go, Germany,Go! Go! Let's GO!

There is Fussball (football. Only people from N.Am. call it soccer) in the air, I can tell you that! It is the European Football championship(or Tournment) and every one is rivetted to the T.V. Even my bank is full of little German Flags, and hats, and guirlandes and even a piggybank in the shape of... Sign in to see full entry.
