Celebrity Amy Grant brings Halloween Holiday to Germans.

My Jack (Skeleton)!
Happy Halloween/Alleheiligen!!! Amy and I brought in the freshly spirited year at the school's Maskenball (which I, big head, helped out A LOT with... thank goodness other people let us leave at 2am and not clean up!)... It was great and all my friends managed to speak a little english with Amy! We even had a Bjorn fire show before hand, and more than the people in this photo were in my apartment at one point (crazy).

(For anyone who doesn't know... Amy is my first roommate from college and one of my best friends. It is SO great to have her here and I spend a lot less time on the computer due to her actual (and not virtual) presence!) We took the train the next day to Mannheim, where we were taken in by the wonderful Baumgarts... and Bene was even home, due to sickness! During the time home, he partied, ate rich foods, slept, etc. I think he must be feeling better by now ;) Also, his mom gave him a haircut: Ok... more later! Great trip so far! I hope Amy's impression of Germany doesn't extend only as far as Hanau in the future though...

Bene looks like the lead singer for Metallica. Is that guy from Belgium?!? Say hi to Amy for us. And try to get her to Bavaria. Mom and I turned out the lights on Halloween and went out. Waaah! Those days are over for us.

but 'e' on Isabelle, though.

Heeheehee. Amy says hi back! I also tried to get her to Bavaria, but it got too complicated, so, since I can't take good care of people, I took her to the people who always take good care of people ;) Ah, Mannheim...
