1 Jahr Südamerika, jetzt ist es fast soweit. Nur noch 3 wochen bis zum Start.<br>Das meiste, bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten, ist erledigt. Die letzten 3 Tage habe ich mir ne Homepage zusammengebastelt(www.halfcap.de), ich kann nicht glauben das es Menschen gibt, die das zu ihrem Beruf machen. Auf meiner Homepage findet Ihr einen Link zu diesem Blog, ein Fotoalbum und Gästebuch.<br>Also, 1 Jahr Südamerika wartet auf mich ...

Day 21: Travelled to cologne where the Sturmats were at the train station to meet me. Abit of background.. me and larry met them on the ferry coming over from england and they invited me to stay for a couple of nights. There hospitality was amazing... After walking around Cologne for abit we drove to Wuppertal where the girl Antje will be going ...

Another foggy morning, and I really do not want to leave. However, we are off. Me back to Houston, Claudia back to work. A big resounding "BOO" from both of us! Germany was wonderful, and I highly recommend it to anyone ---&gt; great food ...

Although the weather was cold and rainy again, Claudia and I decided to walk around the center of Paderborn and do some shopping. I got a more complete tour of the city in the daytime - we went inside of the Cathedral and as usual it had amazing architecture. We walked down through the church and out the other side - more rain though so out came the umbrella once again. We walked through the city and ...

We got up fairly early and had breakfast, then decided to head back to Paderborn. Claudia drove out of the city and then I drove for a couple of hours. We arrived in Paderborn around 15.00 or so, and went out to do some shopping for food. We swung by the Post Office to send out some postcards, then we hit the grocery store so I could buy some chocolates and things to bring home with me. The day ...

What a long trip. Claudia and I were supposed to arrive in Paderborn around 14.00 in the afternoon, but our flight (City-Hoppers as they are called in Germany) from Frankfurt was canceled due to mechanical difficulties with the plane. So after our 10 hour flight we got to sit in the airport for seven more hours until 19.00 when the next flight to Paderborn took off. We managed to find a quiet spot upstairs where there were enough ...

Week of July 9... As we come to the end of our time here, we are reminded of all things that are special about Germany and especially, Wittenberg . This past week was no exception. The week began with a trip to the daily market on the square, picking up fresh fruits and vegetables for our dinner. The week also involved preparing for a traditional "Kaffee-Kuchen" event at the Grosch ...

(New York City &gt; Amsterdam, Tuesday, May 15, 2007)-Three whirlwind weeks in the USA spun to a close when Dr Dorothy and her son Mike dropped me off at Newark Airport to catch my flight back to Amsterdam by way of Frankfurt, Germany, a chilling indication that it isn't just in America where passengers are forced to fly way out of their way to suit the convenience of the airlines. I staggered through the Frankfurt airport after the long ride from ...

... is so great, and filled with people enjoying Bratwurst and beer, mulled-wine and roasted nuts. It is a feast of the senses, and very festive. It is hard not to be swept up in the spirit of the season. Now that I have access to a computer with English commands, I will try posting some photos here. Let me know how it works. I hope everyone is happy and healthy, and managing to enjoy this time, we are truely blessed.

... tonight has put me in a much better mood, and I hope to spend the next little while recharging my batteries. Amsterdam was an architectural dream come true, and I really enjoyed my few days there. I could absolutely see myself going to school and living there. So sorry, but I am really tired tonight. I promise to write more soon.............
