ÜBERRASCHUNG

I went to Halle a few weeks ago. In fact, I arrived there at 6.00am in order to surprise Aischylos, who was having her birthday. At 6.30am I called her on the telephone. She was still sleeping. So I talked to her already standing outside her house and having a bad conscience about waking her up. I said: "Hey, would you please open the door, I got croissants!" She wasn't understanding at all and it took 5 more minutes until she finallly asked: "Are you in Halle???"

SURPRISE... and " 1 : 0 für mich" ! *den Moment des Triumphs genießend*

We then had breakfast and she went to work. I met with our dearest friend Soibine. We had a Döner - I never thought that I'd ever eat a Döner in Halle... =)

Anwaltskanzlei an der Marktkirche... *lol*

L'église du marché - Luther a fait des sermon ici!

We fetched the cutest twinnies on earth and had a great time. In the late afternoon I fetched Aischy from her laboratory... WOW.. so not my universe, but really cool! I now know 'exactly' what her PhD is about... =)

the 'hallowed hall' in Halle

Wenn's mit dem Studium nicht klappt...

... dann werd' ich eben Dachdecker!!! =)

(Si je ne réussis pas dans mes études, je deviendrai donc couvreur!!!)

This is what it looked like when I came home.

After my first work day.



Inside view.




Other side - same thing to do!

We already put all the tile packs on the roof.







Then my uncle and I already started covering one side:

D-DAY ("Dach"-Day)

My uncle and I finished one side and covered all the other side.

Little moment of rest. - Petit moment de détente.

It was so much fun to work with my uncle: Stupid songs, comments and jokes ALL THE TIME.

Almost done... (Guitchime in action!)

Dad, Möhre and my uncle in action: Putting the ridge tiles on the roof!

Elsbeth und Guitchime in B-City

Wer hätte das gedacht? Ich treffe Elisi in Berlin! Ein toller Tag, voller Wiedersehensfreude und der üblichen crazyness.

Lunch at Burger King's... als wären wir in Freiburg, nur das OREO-Eis und der Rest der Table-Group haben gefehlt. =)

WALKING AROUND IN BERLIN...

"ohhhh... ne Säule"



Dunkin' Donuts in front of the Brandenburger Tor - Pfannkuchen / Berliner: einmal Grüner Apfel und einmal Pflaume

at the US Embassy - Miss Li-bear-ty



Spaziergang weiter bis zum Reichstag, dann Schloss Bellevue bis zur Siegessäule...

Mein Zweitwohnsitz! - Voici ma résidence secondaire!

Feuermelder vorm Schloss Bellevue: "Scheibe einschlagen und warten bis Feuerwehr kommt. Missbrauch strafbar."

Avertisseur d'incendie devant le Chateau Bellevue

What a great day with Elisi. We had so much fun! We thought of the good old days in Freiburg...



Und wieder einmal vollzogen wir eine von Guitchimes Lieblingsbeschäftigungen: Denkmäler erklimmen und die Figuren imitieren.

Et de nouveau, nous effectâmes une des activités préférées de Guitchime: Monter sur les monuments et imiter les statues.

Zuerst my local hero: Otto von Bismarck

D'abord mon héros local: Otto von Bismarck

Who is doing a better job?

Die "Goldelse" in der untergehenden Sonne.

Elisi und an den Pfötchen der Sphinx

Elli an der Wade des Schmieds (Metapher: Bismarck, des Reiches Schmied)

Leider sieht man den Zweig kaum, der das Schwert darstellen sollte.

Malheureusement, on ne voit pas très bien la petite branche qui servait d'épée.

Möhre in Freiburg
