Back updates coming soon, I hope!

Mel's mom has a bit of wild garden behind her house.  A lot of it is raspberry thicket!


We picked three pints of berries!  We ate a lot, too.


This was my basket.  Yum!


We knew we couldn't eat them all at once, so we went home to Mel's and we made Raspberry Jam! 


Jars full and boiling to seal and sterilize...


There!  4 lovely jars of raspberry jam saved for later!


I thought the best part was eating the leftovers.  There wasn't enough left for another jar, so we ate it - over icecream!  YUM!!!


Summer here is fun!  And blueberry season is starting!  HURRAH!    Miss you mom!  Have a great summer too!

Guess what season it is here in West Michigan?  It's BLUEBERRY SEASON!!!   They are so yummy!!!

We bought LOTS.  Then we ate them ALL.

How the times flies!!!

I'm back at home!

I had a wonderful time!

A big thank you to all my host they show my the world!!!

You make me and my mom very, very happy!!!

See you soon!

Today cute Viola has arrived in my home! Thank you for sending the TV, beelicious! Viola was welcomed by her friends who will go all together to Hamburg soon... there are waiting many adventures for them [color=indigo] 

Violas new friends are Sophie, Paul and Sheep!

Hello mum! I feel fine!

Hallo beelicious! Last week I have visited Hamburg. Here I'm in the bar of the hotel room where I can have a tea or coffee.

In Hamburg I have visited Planten un Blomen! That is a wonderful little park with a glasshouse with many cacti and succulents.
Here I am! 

The day was not yet completed! Here you see me in front of a very famous fruit... After an icecream at the "Jungfernstieg" with a wonderful view at the sunny "Binnenalster"we had a walk to the "Elbphilharmonie" which is a famous philharmonic hall near the river "Elbe". The Hamburgers call it "Elphie". Unfortunately I'm not on a photo  The view was a little bit foggy, but that is not untypical for Hamburg...

This was the day where the two ladys I'm traveling with had their flight to France. For one of them it was the very first flight ever- so unfortunately they were so excited  that they haven't taken so many photos with me... here you see me at the airport in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel! In the background the aeroplanes are starting and landing. It was really an adventure!  We were even flying over Paris and we could see the "Arc de Triomphe" and the river "Seine"! After ~2 hours we were landing in Bordeaux and picked up a cute little rental car. With the car we drove to Arcachon, a small village at the Atlantic Sea. It was very funny to see the ladies searching for a parking place... finally they found one in a parking garage. We had a beautiful hotel in the car-free zone- I will still show it to you... 

Perhaps I had a tiny bear-jet lag  So I missed the sunset... so sorry! Its a joke- I was relaxing in the wonderful hotel after that exciting day! Here you see a photo of the hotel "Residhome Arcachon Plazza". And one of the sunset- unfortunately without me.  

Here you can see me in front of a shop where they sell fish and other special food in steelcans. Looked so colourful! Did I mention that i wasn't alone? I was accompanied by my friend Sophie. In the morning we were in the "Parque Mauresque". I have only another photo of Sophie... On 19th of April my ladies drove to the "Dune du Pilat". It was a very hot day and I prefered to stay in the air conditioned hotel. The "Dune du Pilat" is a famous touristic place where the tourists are walking on a dune. On the dune there is no tree- that means no shadow. Only sand and sun like in a desert! Nothing for a sensitive bear-girl like me! But of course I will show you an impression of the dune! On 20th of April we go back to Bordeaux- our next destination!

Here I am in the Hotel of the Bordeaux quarter "Chartrons".
The hotels name is "Une chambre chez Dupont". Here I am on a group photo with my new friends Sheep, Sophie and Paul the squirrel! It was an exhausting day. We had to drive in Bordeaux, a large city on a sun burning day... the city was new for all of us and we brought the rental car back to his owner in the airport area. Later a photo was taken with me from the hotel room. It was so romantic! 

Last day we spent in the Cité du Vin. Very, very interesting! I was not every day on a photo- but I enjoyed the vacation in France! Bordeaux is so beautiful! It is called "Little Paris"...
And we had a really good weather for April!

Hallo- home again! Today I was in the IKEA Restaurant in  Braunschweig.
They had the  first asparagus of this season... mmmh! I wish you a nice weekend!
