Hi Mummy,
we are in Bavaria now. When I look out of the window of the guesthouse I can see Troestau.
We had to leave then to visit more relatives.

Remscheid, Germany - 22nd November 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
it's snowing here!
It already started yesterday with a bad storm which destroyed some of the booths on the christmas market that will be opened next week. It was getting cold and colder and suddly the falling rain turned into snow. When Katja came home in the early evening she brought a new ToyVoyager with her, SaruMaru from Florida had to be picked up at the post office.
Today we all took a look out of the kitchen window.
I hope we will go out later!
Bye
Theodore

Birthday Party, Remscheid, Germany - 1st December 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
I'm celebrating my birthday!
We had cake in the afternoon and in the evening we had something much better: fruit in rum.
Fruit in rum is called "Rumtopf" in Germany. Many people prepare it during summer. You take a large ceramic pot and put fresh fruit into it. The fruits have to be washed, peeled and cut into pieces if they are larger fruits. You usually start with strawberries, then cherries, peaches, apricots, plums .... everything you like. For each portion of fruit you also take rock candy (for 500 g fruit you take 500 g sugar), than you fill in as much rum (rum with 54% alcohol content) until the fruits are covered completely. Every time you like you fill in the next fruits, rock candy and rum.
In early winter you can taste the Rumtopf. It really tastes delicious! SaruMaru was eager to taste it.
We had a glass of rum from the Rumtopf and some fruits. We had cherries, kiwi, peach, plum and a strawberry.
Moley, SaruMaru, Titch and Thiele were celebrating with me.
I'm afraid we all will have a bad hangover tomorrow ...
Bye
Theodore
