Our friend Waldo invited us to eat hamburger prepared on the grill. He said he had to look for something to impress such a meat eater like me, and he really did! really great hamburgers :D
Grilled Hamburger1
We are in Estonia, and if you get a closer look the registration plates of the cars in front of the house you will notice that these cars are from Germany, Sweden and Belgium.
This week we have been with grandpa in Saaremaa, and we got the chance to attend a concert with Mait.
The music was good and Mia was happy, but the most incredible is that we met several estonian friends from Germany: Kadri, Karin & Heiko.

The 4th was Karla's birthday, first we wanted to go outfor dinner, but we ended have very good dinnerin our place.

Chilean Guest0
This weekend we got the quick visit of Cecilia, my classmate in Highschool, who made a very extensive tour in east europe.
Biking along the Mosel 40
The hightlights for the forth day were:
- The castle ruins at Beilstein.
- Cochem itself, no body of us thought that it could be such a nice town.
After a long breakfast and only 25km we finished our tour at Cochem.
Biking along the Mosel 30
The hightlights for the third day were:
- The steepest vineyard of the world in Calmont.
- The most likely biggest Maypole of the world in Ediger.
After change of plans we stayed in Ediger instead of Cochem, mainly because it was getting too much for the children, so we biked only 35 km this day.
Biking along the Mosel 20
The second day highlights:
- The superb home-made grape juice we got for breakfast, our clossed guess was apple-rhubarb juice
- The most impresive was the roman wineship in Neumagen.
After 60km, with lunch at Kues, we arrived to today destination Enkirch.
Biking along the Mosel0
We enjoyed this long weekend biking along the mosel with our friends the Ots from Brussels.
On the first day we met in Trier, we came by train and the Ots by car, and we started biking at 15 o'clock.
The highlights of the day were:
- We were so lucky to escape an unexpected storm having a glass of local wine in a nice cafeteria along the river
- We just passed by Detzen when a big ship was going through the lock
and, after 40km, we arrived very late to our destination for this day in Trittenheim.
We got these days an already for long time due visit from my friend Alejandro, who did meet Mait for the first time...
