my city.. REGENSBURG

Cause i just talked about my hometown in germany i thought it would be fun to show you where i come from..

Regensburg is in Bavaria, Germany! 1 hour north from Munich and the Oktoberfest and full of historical things to see.

We got the best bars and restaurants i've ever seen.. not because they are so fancy but there is everyday something for everybody. From the little bar on the corner where you can drink your beer after work to the little beergarden where you can eat your sausage with sauerkraut to the big fancy restaurant on top of a city tower with the greatest food and the biggest prices!

And if there is something for sure, than that a street fest in Regensburg means always, great food, good music and a lot of fun! Oh do i miss the bridge fest with all those great bands!!!


If you are happen to be in Germany, don't miss out on Regensburg and our historical city. Ride on the Donau, visit the huge cathedral, eat the best sausages in town at the Wurst Kuchl next to the Donau and please grab yourself a good beer and enjoy a beergarden with a wonderful bavarian view!!!

this is.. my favourite book

i have to say that i don't have A favourite book! But when i think about my favourite books, i imidiately have to think about Donna Leon. I love every single book she wrote so far!
Nobody else makes me feel and smell Venice and North Italy so much than she does. When i read her books i feel like i am in Venice sitting on a rooftop balcony and watching ove the Rio Grande.. listening to the sounds of the tourists walking thru the little streets in the city.

What a great writer! I read her books mostly in german.. and it makes me feel home! Probably cause I am from REGENSBURG.. the most northern Italien City, if she would be Italien! kinda.. whatever.. go to Amazon and get you a copy of her fantastic books! Feels like an Italy vacation!

My latest discovery is.. that i can watch german tv online here in America.

And you know what.. that makes me sooooo happy! I feel so much closer now to home since i can watch some of my favourite show again!!! I hope that internet tv will get more and more popular and they will continue this forever..



Thank you so much to Enni from Germany, who whispered me this little non-secret over at my Scrap the night away blog!!!! Saved kinda my freetime, Enni!! And my germany-blues!!!!

this is... my perfect dinner party

hhmm.. well it took me a while to think about that and i still don't know.. kinda! cause i can't think of somebody famous i would like to invite.





so my first thoughts about my perfect dinner party went immediately to my old friends and the wish to get us all together again and have a good time!









so here my guest list..





first of course my two best friends ALI und TINA! no party without my girls. What a happy person i am to have two sooo close people in my life even if we are continents apart!







and no party without fabio... of course! i think i can start to put the Jägermeister into the freezer. as you can see he is now a barkeeper in the ESCO bar. So if you will ever happen to be in Regensburg/Bavaria.. than of course you have to go and visit him.. he love's women..

without a picture but just as invited as anybody else is FLO.. the second barkeeper from the diner i worked with and a buddy of Fabio too. YEP i think the Jägermeister won't last too long!

...and than of course my special five! those four guys have to come and i hope we would be able to catch up on old good times!





..and Jon and mine dearest friends Ilihana and Daniel. We can't wait until they move to Texas and we are not seperated by an ocean anymore! Just by a couple (ha ha) of states!



Michael on of my special five's.. he has to get named seperate cause he is family. Would have almost been my brother in law.. but oh well.. i think the girl he is dating now is perfect for him. Even if she is not my sister!



and of course the guys jonathon worked with in germany/hohenfels! we had so many fun party's with them in this small time! and Jonathon even more fun experiences with them laying in the mud side by side.



A very special friend of Jonathon.. Afoa.




... the rest of the party! What a fun fun party that would be..!!!!


OH and the live music of course would come from the FOUR DRUNKEN DADDIES.. Fabio's band!

so LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i wish i could only invite my old figure too!!!! lol)
