Today there was a fall celebration in Sophia's school. Apparently, there were several events during the weekend. Today we took some cupcakes to a gathering where parents bought cake and coffee etc. to support the school. I'm sure folks thought the cupcakes were a bit bizarre but they bought them anyway!
Tonight, we left the kids with Sandra and headed to the old part of Heidelberg. It was a beautiful fall night with just a slight nip in the air. We had had beer/wine in a cozy little restaurant on the Hauptstrasse and were home by 21:00 -- a really great evening.
One of the nice little perks of living outside the US is smoking cuban cigars. I usually keep some cheap cigarillos in my camera bag to give me a burst of creativity as I need it. We went to Strasbourg a couple of weeks ago and I bought some there. It's funny: French is so beautful even a warning of the horrific death you face from smoking seems somehow appealing. I make an effort to smoke in open areas so as not to put at risk the health of my "entourage".

Had to say HI... since I live in Woodinville and post often about (and just returned from) Germany -- and am a first-generation American with German parents. I was in Germany from 9/8 to 9/30... check out blog entries for that time. I also often post about Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
Off to explore your blog further! :-)

Hi Carol,
I have a friend who just moved back to Woodenville after 2 years in Germany. We miss the PNW but are enjoying living here. I hope you like the blog. I'll check yours out too.
