Ontario

Hi dear readers ;-),

I am back in Berlin and slightly confused. I really have to get used to things around again. But it shouldn't take long. Weather is great, summer is coming. And summers in Berlin are great! :-D Tomorrow I have to start to catch up with my studies. I missed 3 weeks, oops. I guess I'll manage, though. It's not too much, at least I hope so.

I still have to show you some pix from Ontario and Iceland. My way back was very nice. I took the great weather with me as it seems. A lot of sun everywhere. Let's start with the Niagara Falls.



with Mary Catharine, who was so nice to show me around the area


Mary Cath and Stephane, who invited us to a nice French barbecue in Toronto


with Samantha, the friendly family dog of Mary Cath's parents






tunnel under the falls


Niagara-on-the-Lake, a lovely small town

Downtown




BYE BYE lovely CANADA, I will be back. Promise! I already miss you and some special people I met. See how life treats me until then. ;-)

PS: Iceland pix are following as a treat. ;-)

Birthday

Before I leave Vancouver and then Canada - one week from now I will be in Iceland - I want to show you some pix from my birthday in a gay club downtown. Well, it was straight night. ;-)

I have quite a Canadian cold again and partying there was probably not the best thing for my health but it was nice. :-)



With Ioana, my dear Swedish friend to whom I already had to say good bye today...


With Ioana and Cameron, I was glad he came. It's still in the middle of finals, so a lot of work for most students


With Winnifred and Greg, not the best pic but we didn't take many. LOL


Dancing


Another one with Winnifred, who actually was my student here and is such a dear person. I hope to meet up with her in Iceland as she is also going there.


On our way back, see I also had tea. Though some of my guests wanted to make me drunk for my birthday and spent a fortune. :-P Well if you have much to give. :-)

I must say I had the most gorgeous time here and I met such precious people I hope I somehow can stay in contact with. Some of them you saw in those pics. One year ago I didn't know any of them and now they are friends and more. I really cannot imagine being back in Germany so soon. But at least I have my friends and family there back then.

Before it's Toronto and Iceland, pics will follow. :-)

Hawaii the second

I am way too tired today, not really from working but more from partying, though. ;-) Anyway on we go:

ALOHA!




in front of the hostel before a tour over the island


still the hostel; I met really nice people there, with whom I went on the circle tour. BTW the car you see in the pic is the one we went with.

Back in my second home, going out with two beloved friends, Ioana and Peter

HAWAII

Hi everybody,

by now I am back in rainy Canada but I was in Hawaii for some days. :-) For the weekend better weather is announced for here as well and I might go on another motorbike trip. But not driving myself... :-P Before that I have to wrap up my German teaching and studies because I am almost done here and back home pretty soon. Unbelieveable!

But back to Hawaii first. Wanna see some pix? It was simply gorgeous and I met some nice people there as I was going alone.

Let's start:


ain't that gorgeous?
