Tomorrow evening, two colleagues and me go to Munich, to attend the redesign meeting held from 26. - 28.10. After arrival on Friday, we have to go directely to the office for a premeeting.

I ask, &#8220;Are you sure?&#8221; She then laughs. Actually, thinking back, I&#8217;m not even sure this teacher is mentally stable. (NB: I complained to the HM about this exact teacher speaking the local language too much a couple of weeks before. I guess he didn&#8217;t believe me, eh?)<br><br ...

I asked the restaurant staff to get some coffee ready so that Daniel and Cindy could have a cup before heading to the airport. We had coffee together and debriefed on the trip and the camp. Shortly after 7:00 they rode off in Samuel&#8217;s taxi for the flight to Nairobi. They plan to spend a few days in Kenya on a photo ...

... weren&#8217;t ready for a recording contract but the campers appreciated our participation anyway. The finale was a long African song, a cappela, with energetic dancing. The campers came to get the Harpers and Doc Swartz to dance with them. I made sure I stayed behind my video camera&#8230;. Most of the room was up and dancing happily by the end of the song.
