One year.

We've officially been in Germany for a year I remember my first day here it was hectic at the airport, I had a bunch of suitcases of all sizes and Avi was to little to help carry them, besides, she was in her stroller. I found out that the little carts you usually rent didn't require money, just a quarter, so in it went and I was able to get us out of the airport easily, Once out of the baggage claim, Pablo helped me mit alles . What I didn't know was that if I put the cart back it would return my quarter to me, oh well... you win some you loose some! W e took a train then a bus to get home.  I remember the smell of the apartment when I first got here, how everything was so new, Pablo had a few things in the fridge and we were able to eat a homemade meal as a family for the first time in Hamburg. Life has changed in so many ways over the past year and yet remains the same. Currently: - I am a SAHM, I did an internship earlier this year, but only for 6 mths...

Logistics Hamburg (train to) >  Bremen (plane to) >  Skavsta airport (bus to) >  Stockholm (train to) > Borlange (bus to) >   Falún I really don't think I knew what I was getting into when we started the trip... We spent one day in falun, one in Stockholm, and one in Nyköping. We arrived at night, and as soon as we got off the bus in Falun we started walking around looking for the hotel. Alas, we found it and Chuy was waiting for us outside with two coworker friends..Here's what we did the other three days: Falun We walked around and visited the Coal mines there, but the English tour had been in the morning and there weren't any others for the day so we didn't get the chance to go inside... Plus we didn't have sweaters (only avi did) or jackets and it was at around 5 degrees inside the mine! Instead we bought tickets that would let us explore the area (walked 1.7 km outside the pit) and visited the museum, I enjoyed it, it...

I don't think anyone is reading this, so I'm just typing away in case influenster is interested in reading my post about my most recent VOXBOX!!    One day as I got home my mom called me over and let me know I had received a big orange box from Influenster, yay!!  I was very excited since I had heard via twitter and Facebook that it is supposed to be very relaxing  and soothing.  This is the second box I receive, I didn't blog about the first one since I received it last year, during the holidays and I wasn't into blogging back then.

We saved enough money to go on another vacation, this was the first time we didn't have any tours scheduled, in our Easter Break in Holland we had Carmen and Joost and in the Czech Rep we had the  free & paid SANDEMANs tour .  in the end it turned out okay since we bought the Hop On Hop Off 36 hrs tickets in Rome, Venice was walkable and we rode on a vaporetto, and Florence was also a very walkable city and the maps were very detailed. This post  is going to be heavy on the pictures and light on the descriptions. If you want to know anything more about a specific picture, please ask!

Casamundo on  26. Juli 2013 My last day of work was Wednesday  but since I got sick (gastroenteritis) I was unable to attend.. so my real last day of work was Monday! Anyways last week before I got transfered to happycar.de  I had asked my workmates if they wanted me to take lunch for my last day of work as the abschiedsessen..  (since its a tradition to take something to share, usually sweets or so) I offered them Chili dog, Mexican style.. they said yes, except for two of them that are Vegans and decided to make chili sin carne con tofu.  I ended up changing the day to Friday instead of wed. and well.. it was a total success :) The food came out delicious, everybody enjoyed it! As a goodbye present they got me a "I <3 Hamburg" coffee mug some chocolates and a postcard signed by them..  one of the chocolate is flavored "Chili Kirsch" (cherry chili) it is actually a bit ...
