8 more days left to vote!*

*on my screen name.

I think it's been too long since I posted, and a lot has happened lately. I give you a sum-up.

First, fall break! I already posted the cool fire thing that Bjorn did. Other than that (while in Hanau atleast), I went to rowing club on monday and there were only three of us: Myself, Herr Schulz-Wahle (my workshop teacher), and Herr Otto (the engraving teacher... mom, you met him and we wanted dad to meet him but he wasn't there). Because we were so few, we took the 2-er boat on the Kinzig, which is a little tiny river (stream? Creek?) going off the Main River. Even a little drizzle rain was no prob - we had a very fun and relaxing time.

Next, I went to Hamburg! It's a great place... I went with my friend Lena, who has two best friends there (in picture: me, Anna Fleur, Sarah, and Lena), who I also felt like I was best friends with. Really great time. We walked all over it (me in new yellow shoes!), went to a small concert for voice coaches at a small singing school that Anna Fleur just graduated from (who is truely a great singer), and sang around the campfire with her hausmeister and friends (and gluhwein... typical hot alcoholic drink for winter) the next night. Somebody even asked me if I was from the school! Heeh. I can definitely recommend Hamburg now as a cool place to go to, and plan on many more visits. Incidentally, Capers reminded me that Dana lives there (oops!) so hopefully sooner rather than later.
Lastly, I spent the night before last being an artist with cool people from other countries... and I don't just mean Germany! Tissa (Patricia) from Brazil, Daniel (you know him already) from Columbia, and I all met up and went to Daniel's Atelier (artist's loft) and painted and learned spanish dancing! It was a great time.

Next time (maybe)... pictures from the MUKE Art&More Exhibition and Sale where I sold three more plastic rings! They're getting better and better...

Haha... my fingers are freezing as well! And mom... poor little wimpola ;) You are not really!

I'm so glad Isabelle loves lellow! I might start calling the shoes my Isabelle shoes... I love them!

I also noticed that if you click on the picture of Daniel and Tissa... Daniel has a real Picasso looking face.

You are right about Daniel and his Picasso face. Would he mind if we call him Pablo?
