Today we did a goodbye-party for Pieksi. First all of us took a party-mug of each home area. Kirin couldn't find any Chile-mug, so she decided to take another one from South America.
Later we shared some sweets and hugged Pieksi.
Then he crawled into his envelope. We wish him a save journey.

Hello Mommy,
today I climbed up a hill. It wasn't easy!
But it was worth it! I had a wonderful view over the north-east of the city. Can you see the houses on the horizon?
The way back down was not better.
Yours, Crawfish

Gräfenhainichen, Germany - 1st April 2012
By: MA_17
Hello Mum,
this evening I went to Gräfenhainichen, again. Last time I showed you the lake and Ferropolis.
This is the church Sankt Marien. In the night you can see spooky shadows of it in the sky.
And this is the Paul-Gerhardt-House. He's a famous man of the city.
Yours

Gräfenhainichen, Germany - 3rd April 2012

Hey Mommy,
today I saw a famous car, a Trabant. The name, meaning 'satellite' or 'companion' in German, was inspired by Soviet Sputnik. The cars are often referred to as the Trabbi or Trabi. Since it could take years for a Trabant to be delivered from the time it was ordered, people who finally got one were very careful with it and usually became skillful in maintaining and repairing it. The lifespan of an average Trabant was 28 years. Used Trabants would often fetch a higher price than new ones, as the former were available immediately, while the latter required the infamous long wait.
The Trabant was a steel monocoque design with roof, bootlid/trunklid, bonnet/hood, bumpers/fenders and doors in Duroplast, a form of plastic containing resin strengthened by cotton. This helped the GDR to avoid expensive steel imports but, in theory, did not provide much crash protection, although in crash tests it allegedly performed better than some contemporary Western hatchbacks.
Btw many people say the car is made of paperboard.
In the evening Woozy left us. His next stop is Heidelberg. Goodbye dude!
Yours
Crawfish

Hi Mom,
today we walked up some stairs. We didn't know why...
On the top of the hill we had a wonderful view over the east city! But it was really cold. I think winter is coming back!
Love,
Crawfish

Hello Mom,
today I found a wonderful yellow flower. It's a daffodil, but in German it is called something like "Easterbell" (Osterglocke).
Later I decided to seed my own little flower. I hope it will grow fast!
Yours
Crawfish
