it has been a very busy last few weeks.
we went to a wedding for a second cousin last weekend. it was beautiful. we got there at 9:30pm when we were supposed to arrive at 7pm. damn traffic. it was fun catching up with the relatives again. they are all so sweet. i said goodbye to a few and it was sad. can't believe this chapter is coming to a close. we had some visitors here last week- chris and his daughter maddie. i took them on a bike tour of the city and on our way back we saw what happens when a bike and car come into contact. blood on the ground, lady on the ground, and a completely mangled bike. scary stuff. then phillipp picked up emily early from school and we went to a nearby medieval castle. it was pretty cool. oscar was gone the whole week at the school's country house so no harry potter reading. we have less than 300 pages to go! i'm thinking of getting him the 6th movie for his birthday. must ask his parentals. :) babysat for celina one day. then went to coffee and cake with therese (san fran), charlotte (france), adriana (mexico), ning (china) and her husband dirk (germany). i love how we can just sit for hours at a cafe. went and saw a really funny movie: groupies bleiben nicht zum fruehstuck (groupies don't stay for breakfast) w/ my friends lenka (czech republic) and cesi (bolivia) and laughed a lot. went to a bath house with a pretty view of castles with charlotte, her hubby, and baby leanne, ning, dirk, and his son moritz, and adriana. went out to italian (where i went wrong and got pizza). had drinks at charlotte's and stayed up too late. got up early to catch a train w/ lenka, cesi, and mari (venezuela) to nürnberg and würzburg. i didn't enjoy much of würzburg though because i got a fever and then was nauseous and then threw up on the train ride home (who does that?!). my jeans, scarf, and jacket were victims of that little mishap since someone would not get out of the bathroom as i banged on it.
