This shot was taken on June 12th at the surprise party for Carlo's boss Yiannis...whose wife had organized a wonderful dinner for 15 people at their favorite greek restaurant. It was deeelish!
This is the only picture we have of the evening...but better one than none! :-)
Our good friend Elke is moving away to Washington D.C. to pursue her MBA soon... She celebrated her friends and good times with a grill-party get-together on the banks of the Isar river, which flows right through the city of Munich. There are many wooded areas along the river bed with many opportunities for a BBQ! :-) We will miss her south-american energy and joyful character!
Wow, it's been a while since I've updated our blog...so now it's due time for some thanks for all your birthday wishes and congratulations! Since June 10th fell on a Tuesday this year, and I was coming down with a cold, my 31st passed without big fanfare. Carlo and I ordered take-out from our favorite Thaifood restaurant and ended up watching the Euro 2008 soccer tournament at home. Yes, not a big bash by all means-but a worthy make-up party is in the works for sometime in August. The weather by the way was gorgeous that day! A rare glimpse of summer during many days of "June gloom". (Munich-style that is, which means rain and temps in the 50's!)
Here some of the great cards I received this year! Thanks guys!
Just returned from a fabulously fun weekend in Bilbao, Spain. Mostly known for its spectacular Guggenheim Museum, the city is well worth a trip! It was a girl-trip with five of us enjoying the spanish lifestyle with tapas, late dinners, and lots of laughter.The weather was anything but cooperative - but despite almost constant rain, we managed to have a really fun time.
On Saturday we drove up to a small surfer-town called "Zarautz", where we spent our Saturday night. The Atlantic coast was beautiful! Steep, green cliffs, yellow sand, and green-blue ocean!
The Basque region of Spain is a beautfiul destination which should be on everyones agenda!
