aber von denen wollte euch eigentlich der Rafa erzählen - da der aber gerade irgendwo im dunklen Schwarzwald sitzt, kann das noch etwas dauern. Und da hab ich mir gedacht Euch selbst schnell einen Kurzgruss zu schicken - nicht, dass unser schöner blog doch noch gelöscht wird - das wäre ja dann zu schade. Daher: Einen dicken Gruss aus dem sonnigen Stuttgart. Ihr hört bald vom Rafa, que lo pasen bien, chicos :-) Silke... read more

...und richtig glücklich :-) Nun sind wir also tatsaechlich wieder zurueck in der Schwabenmetropole - die naechsten Tage werden wir damit verbringen 1 Jahr Reise in diversen Kisten und Schraenken zu verstauen und damit uns wieder mit der Umgebung hier vertraut zu machen. Unser erster Eindruck ist, dass sich nicht allzuviel veraendert hat und wie oben schon geschrieben: wir fuehlen uns schon wieder pudelwohl. Ein paar von Euch haben wir ja schon wieder getroffen, Andere werden bestimmt bald folgen *freu* - und beim suedamerikanischen Teil von euch freuen wir uns einfach auf das nächste Treffen, wo auch immer es stattfinden wird. Wir hatten ein Jahr Zeit um die Welt ein wenig besser kennezulernen - dafuer hatten wir uns Suedamerika ausgesucht und diese Entscheidung haben wir nie bereut. Wir sind auf einen Kontinent voller Leben gestossen, auf ... read more

Well, the last 14 hours has been tiresome, but I have arrived! I am currently in Stuttgart, Germany and will be making my way to Schwabisch Hall in the morning. It's hard to imagine that less than a day ago I was in Denver, CO...wow... I've already taken several photos, but unfortunately I'm not able to load them as I'm using the hotel's computer... I'll post more as I'm able, believe you me. :-) I am most definitely excited to be here! I can't wait until I'll actually be learning German, though! I can get by with my English, but I'd like to be able to understand what's being said around me. :-) Alright, well it's time for me to find some supper. I'll do my best to keep this as up to date as possible, ... read more

Last night there was a storm, not too big, but also not small. I didnt think much of it until An air raid siren went off, it sounded like one anyway. It was explained to me that three sirens meant there was a fire, Which obviously wasnt the case being rain etc. So when the siren came to around thirty repeats I was informed that it meant Catastrophe, which was a relief seeing as it meant there was no fire... But It did mean that several houses at the bottom of the vineyards were flooded with mud, which had the distinct smell of poo. We were called into action, donning super 'water-proof' boots and smelly pants, which were soon to become more smelly. I was ecstatic, especially seeing as there was ONLY football on tv (note ... read more

OK sorry for not posting earlier. It is difficult to get to working computers here, especially considering the amount of traveling we have been doing. The reason we are in this part of the world at this time is because the FIFA World Cup is on, so i feel i should cover this event while it is on. Being in Germany while the cup is on should be an amazing experience, and it is, but there are a couple of things which make it a little bit more difficult to fully get into it. The amount of train travel we have undertaken has caused us to miss some games (in periods quite a lot of games), back at home i would have seen more games and i would have seen all the games i wanted to ... read more
