The Zoo and Aquarium

The photos of the jaguar is her killing a bird. If you look in the first photo, there's a little bird in the lower right corner. The second one is bird is under her paw....she was FAST!! Also a shot of "everyone poops", even lizards, and lizard wrestling:*)

Berlin

Mon petit jou, Jana, friend of 31 years and her friend Karen, (now our friend too!) trained into Stuttgart from Paris Thursday night. Friday, at the crack of dawn, or 1:30 pm, we headed for Berlin. John worked, so he didn't have to endure the 6+ hour drive, but instead flew in luxury. We arrived at our ***** Grand Hotel Esplanade Berlin. I then headed to the airport to p/u John...so we really started our trip Saturday.

So, the photos are of Berlin. You'll see the Reich Stadt, Berlin Wall(all over the place), Brandenburg Gate, Memorial to the Jews killed in Berlin(the one that looks like all the graves...very beautiful and sad), the new Synagogue(gold and green dome), memorial to those killed while trying to cross the wall, and last but not least, the koi who liked to be pet...REALLY!!!

Jana's coming to town:*)

We're off on another adventure, but we'll be back Monday!

A future?

John's first smore...can you believe it?

Thinking of your wife and not you!

You know who you are.....

2nd Annual Camping Trip

More tomorrow~

Camping in the rain....

but no place I'd rather be! Half the group is here, 1/2 coming in tonight. It poured last night, but due to good tarpage, we stayed DRY! Got in a few runs on the summerrodelbahn today before the rain started. John got bindings on his skis and new orange boots.....he looks super HOT!!! Now, just waiting to call the garbage men in Bremerton and enjoying the silence:*)

You can find love anywhere....

even in a bag of potatoes.

Another fiesta in the garden, or how we spent our Sunday

At the pool in matching suits....

Can't find E's, so she got to wear one from the "secret closet"

Look, I gotta dress up!

And ya like how thin my arms look?

Schlemmer Markt
