Sunday morning was reserved for shopping. Kate wanted to do a little souvenir searching, and so we went to a couple of spots where there were multiple shops, and took a little while to browse. Unfortunately, I did a horrible job of shopping. It is tough when you still have a camera in your hands. In the end I didn't make some purchases that I should have, because this was our last day in Scotland. The weather was better, with the sun poking in and out, and we tried to get some good shots of the castle, but there just wasn't enough sun directly on the castle for me to get anything fantastic. Around noon, we headed out to the country to attend a family BBQ with Caroline Hamilton, who we'd met yesterday at the farmer's ... read more

Ja, es geht weiter und ab dieser Woche ist Dienstbeginn 7.30 Uhr. Ahhh, das ist ja sooo früh! Ein Glück ist Friedericke morgens genauso drauf wie ich, da bekommen wir uns dann wenigstens nicht in die Haare. Montags ging es damit los, dass wir eine Führung am Königssee mit einer fünften Klasse hatten. Klausi hat diese Führung übernommen und Heike, Friedericke und ich sollten uns das mal angucken, damit wir dann am Donnerstag die Führung mit vorbereiten konnten. Wir sind dann etwas früher los, um noch zur Eiskapelle zu wandern, wo wir dann auch Mittagspause gemacht haben. Lustige Geschichte mit der Eiskapelle. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Schneefeld, das von darüber liegenden Schneefeldern gespeist wird und logischerweise vom Wasser unterspült ist, dadurch bildet sich eine Art Kuppel (das kann man auf den Bildern aus ... read more

Hello All~ I have been getting tons of messages asking about more blogs. So here's the deal---we have moved into a house. We have been in the house for over 2 weeks and still don't have internet. Koi was able to download a wireless program to his computer but that means I can only use it when he's home from work. Also, it is very, very, very slow. Therefore, I can't download photos(there's also security things that won't allow it on his computer) and it is difficult to email b/c the service is so slow. I would love to go somewhere to use the internet but no one here has it! We are currently, finally, getting a landline connected today so we will be receiving our equipment for the internet sometime in the next 2 weeks. ... read more

Ok, where do I start? Well, let´s just say i wasn´t so lucky catching my flights this time as i did last trip... So, i´m going to be on my fifth flight in a day and a half... So, I started at LAX to Cincinati, Cincinati to Atlanta, Atlanta to La Guardia, La Guardio to JFK (via taxi, hence part of my blog title), JFK to Madrid, and now Madrid to Barcelona... Let me just breathe a sigh of relief here. Ok, so there was suppose to be train somewhere in here but the train service has a holiday this Sunday, so that´s why i´m gonna be taking a plane to Barcelona. I have met some interesting characters. My flight to Madrid, i sat next to quite attractive girl that looked a bit like Selma Hayek ... read more
