A Foggy Tuesday

Dirk was supposed to play golf but it was too foggy. Fog forms when the air-cools to a point at which water vapor in it begins to condense into tiny water droplets. Its really hard to drive on this kind of weather much more playing golf.

Though there's still some fog, i decided to drive to the city to buy some stuff. Every tuesday is market day and most of the stalls are gone. Only the street cleaners are there to do their job. What amazed me here is the government's concern for cleanliness.

It's Herbst and Cold

It's a very cold day, the herbst or autumn start and i'm starting to chill. Gone are the nice sunny days and more outdoor activities. Despite the cold weather, Dirk was still able to play golf and he played a birdie.

We were also able to take advantage of the end season sale at Kaufland where we bought some house stuff and christmas gifts.

I also bought our favorite grilled chicken for dinner, that complete my kaufland shopping.

Sunday Detour

Because of the bike race in Fessenbach today, most of the roads around that area were blocked. I want to take picture of the racers but they're soooo fast and when finally i was able to capture one, its so blurred, i'm really not a good photographer. Instead, i just took the picture of some watchers and race assistant along the road.

Along the racing area, i noticed that there are bed mattresses on the road. I'm clueless on what's the use of those mattress in the race.

On the way home, we took the mountain road and the view is really nice, look at the picture below

Germany's woman's soccer team has cemented its reputation as the "unbeatable squad" by winning the European Championships for the fifth time in a row. Germany dealt England a resounding 6-2 defeat in the final of the Women's European Championships in Helsinki, Finland.

Lunch with Friends

We have a very sumptuous lunch today at Handrack residence. Siony and Madam Jo cooked sinigang na hipon and my share is adobo and leche plan.

We really have a good appetite when we eat together. In between eating, we talked about our life here in germany and family life back home. We seldom see Siony so we always make the most out of it when we're together.

While watching kiddie channel, rainer, siony's two-year old son fall into power nap.
