we visited our "family and friends gettogether" over Whitsun. we have a really big family scattered all over the world. over 70 kids parents grandparents and greatgrandparents travelled from siwtzerland, austria, england canada and of course all parts of germany to catch up with eachother. it was a wonderful time. i didn't think of all the problems we have at the moment for the whole weekend and was able to relaxe and gain some energy. the reunion was held in the donautal at the gorgeous village beuron. it has an old benedictine monastery and is pilgrim's site. i love the place because it's very peaceful and there is nothing nearby (no supermarket, no industry no highway, no nothing). the monks have a local shop were they sell handcrafted things and they also have butcher's shop selling the best sausage.
my brother and his wife bought a forester's lodge with a lot of forest around it and moved there two years ago. it is a wonderful house built long ago for the local nobel family as their hunting lodge.
i love my niece and nephew. they are the sweetest children i know and i think my brother and his wife are doing a really good job. it is such a pitty we live so far away. we only see them every 18 mounths or so and than mostly just for a short time without getting to know their everyday habbits. their sorrows and joys. i just wish i could be there seeing them grow up and being a part of their life. we're visiting them in july and i'm really looking forward to it.
family is one of the most inportant things to me. take cdare t:t
