São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil - 3rd March 2009
By: mizlilian
Today was a little sad day... Plof left us to go back home. Her mom wants Plof to be at home again, so she went off this afternoon. I'm sad 'cause she's my friend and I really like her, but in another hand, I'm happy she'll be back home and I know she's very happy. Anyway I'll never forget my little pink friend!
Here are our last pics together:
I'll be not alone here, I have Tiger Zé to talk, and Lilian, and her pets... Lilian is having her vacation and probably she'll take me so somewhere new. I'm really excited!!
More later! Love you mom!

Hi Mom!
Well, such a good relaxing time I'm having at Lilian's house! It looks like a looong vacation!
These days me and Tiger Zé invaded her book case and took some things to read.
Here Zé is reading some comics while I do some crosswords!
It's quite difficult guess what words are in these crosswords!
I'll need a dictionary!
Well, I think I'll give up of this crosswords business. Maybe I'll try some comnics. Very fun! There characters are quite famous here in Brazil: Turma da Mônica, or "Monica's Gang". They use to be kids, but now there's a teenager version for the gang, manga style. Very nice!
Then Lilian recommended me some Janet Evanovich novels. Wow! Mystery novels sounds really cool! I'll take a look.
This is the Brazilian version to "One for the Money".
And then we read some of "80's book", it's a book that shows how were TV, music, cinema and mainy how it was to be a kid in the 80's - as Lilian was. So fun! I'm sure that being a kid that age was really nice. But how people could live without Internet? Weird.
Talking about Internet, this is me checking how things are doing at TouVoyagers... heh, my friends are having fun around the world!

Merry Christmas to everyone at home.
For Holy Eve we have chicken fricassee for dinner. This is a traditional food in my family.
Later after singing Christmas songs and unwrapping presents we had time to eat some Christmas cookies.

I wish you all a happy new year. There is no big party at my family's home, so you only see a photo with me and a part of the Christmas tree.

Close to Gochsheim we saw this place, where we could stop with the car for a short time to take photos of the Kraich, a small river, which flows through the Kraichgau.

Odenheim, Germany - 6th March 2011
By: fam-united
Then we drove to Odenheim to see the Siegfried fountain. It might be the place were Siegfried was murdered.
Maybe you know the "Nibelungenlied", if not here's a copy of an wikipedia article:
In the Middle High German Nibelungenlied, Sîfrit (Siegfried) is a prince of Xanten who is later revealed to have a heroic background including killing a dragon and winning lands and an immense fortune from a pair of brothers. From bathing in the dragon's blood, he is invulnerable except for a spot on his back where a leaf adhered to his skin. Determined to marry Kriemhild, the sister of King Gunther of the Burgundians, he assists Gunther in wooing Brünhild, queen of Iceland, using his cloak of invisibility to enable Gunther to beat the phenomenally strong queen at javelin throwing, boulder tossing, and the long jump. He also single-handedly conquers Nibelungenland to provide troops in case Brünhild tries to kill Gunther and his kin. Finally married to Kriemhild, he then wrestles Brünhild into submission, again invisible, so that Gunther can consummate his marriage. He gives Kriemhilt Brünhild's ring and belt. After some years, the two queens quarrel over precedence and Kriemhild shows Brünhild the ring and belt and calls her Siegfried's concubine. Siegfried and Gunther make peace but Gunther's courtier Hagen von Tronje plots to kill Siegfried and Gunther and his brothers go along with the plan. Hagen has Kriemhild place a cross on the spot on Siegfried's back where he is vulnerable, and spears him when he is drinking from a stream on a hunting trip, thus fulfilling a prophecy that whomever Kriemhild marries will die violently. He throws Siegfried's treasure into the Rhine so that Kriemhild cannot raise an army. The second half of the epic concerns her revenge.

On Rosenmontag (Carnival Monday) we all were invited to celebrate with our host's family at her parents place. We had a lot of fun. Here you see us short before eating Berliner - a jelly filled donut, not a human being

Göppingen, Germany - 8th March 2011
By: fam-united
Our hosts like toy trains and think about building an own at home as soon as possible. Today we decided to go to the Märklin museum and have a look, whether they have something on sale, which they would like. So we all had the chance to go through the museum and have a look at all those old toy trains there.
This is a toy train, which was on its way to its new owner - by train. It had an accident then and so it never reached his destination but now is a part of the museum.
