... state of mind as she has done countless times...

So it feels safe to let this mystrerious voice take over the trip and guide me back to Amsterdam, back to my life as a working stiff, rushing through the city on a mad rush for other people`s projects, a bicyle messenger with lungs full of mariuana smoke mixed with dark grey clouds of smelly exhaust fumes...worries about my rent, my addictions and bad food intake.

Is this really the life you wanna guide me back to Nong?

So the Landy is all ready. Now we have to concentrate on the camping gear, and all the stuff needed for the rally itself.

We wanted to ...

... energy...and played tag with Waldemar until he escaped to drive his son to a friend's house. Smart move. Unfortunately, they were waiting when he got back. They also enjoyed making "Fackeln" (buring sticks) and carrying them around the yard, until Waldemar found some large yard candles for them to use. It looked like they were practicing some kind of weird religion, let me tell you! Then it was time for more coffee and cake (Nutrisystem? What's that?) and off to bed!

So Derek is in the UK, and I am in Germany.
The Landy has had a good service free of charge from Gratech, we are very grateful for that.
Derek is getting stickers and advertising organised, and I am concentrating on the quiz, and making sure we have all the ...

... hört sich toll an und wird es hoffentlich auch. Einen genauen Reiseverlauf gibt es eigentlich noch nicht, aber, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivien, Chile, Brasilien und vielleicht auch Kolumbien stehen ganz oben auf meiner Hitliste. Welche Länder ich schlussendlich bereisen werde könnt Ihr in den nächsten 365 Tagen verfolgen, wenn Ihr hier regelmäßig vorbeischaut. Am 22.08.2009 gehts los, Lima ich komme!!!

... talked story and it was nice to relax and sleep in a bed that wasnt in a hostel.
Day 22: In the morning Antje, her sister and her niece drove me up to a beautiful view over Sauerland called Faulebutter. In the evening we then met up with Antje's friends and had dinner and then went to a lake and spent the evening talking and hanging out...

... some music. One guy was dressed as a minstrel, and together with his bag pipes, and the rocks, it made for a mystical / Celtic feeling. Afterwards we went home, and then Annabell came over, and I introduced them to the wonderful world of smores. They were incredibly delicious, and I think they liked them, because they asked to do them the next day! I also told them all about the uses for marshmallows, because I don't think they really use them here. To make the smores, we ...

... beer and wine, beautiful architecture, kind people (except for the old hag waitress in Munich) and of course history!! Is there a job where I can travel wherever I want and get paid for it? Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!

... is Donair meat (or similar to Shawarma meat) in pita break with vegetables, lettuce, onions, cheese and sour cream...man is it EVER GOOD!!! Although not the best... For the rest of the week everything was pretty quiet, we watched some movies, made supper, chilled downtown, did some shopping but the we hit Friday!! In the evening, Cate, Anne and I went to Ester's res (a Korean student) for supper. She and a bunch of other girls from China, Taiwan and Korea had ...

... nkmal. Went first on the autobahn #2 which I think runs from Berlin to Dortmund. Very fast. I think we were going about 150 km per hour which is pretty fast for a country girl. The statue is really huge and stands on a height of land which is a 20% grade to climb. On top of the hill, is this solid sandstone base and huge brass statue in partly Teutonic dress and partly roman dress with a large sword facing towards the west p or France. It is based on a history or ...
