Friends in Action

Though there's heavy snow all around Germany, the much awaited 33rd Fessenbach Jubilee still pushed through. The participants and spectators don't mind the cold weather and all are in high spirit so with my German and pinay friends assigned in one of the stalls there. We have lots of fun while watching the parade.

Asia Shops in Offenburg

Yesterday, while waiting for the parade to start, we decided to buy some food stuff at Oratay's Thai Shop. The Thai girls were about to take their lunch but they're kind enough to joined us for photo ops.







The new Indian shop was our next stop where i bought Tilapia.

Parade's Scene and Seen

While waiting for the Offenburg parade to start, we first have lunch at Guglhupf, a local restaurant in the city. They really serve the best schnitzel and potato soup. We then browse around the city and buy some foodstuff at Asia Shop.


Here are some of the sidelights and highlights of the parade
Kids and other spectators are also wearing carnival costumes.


Wine stalls, its very cold liquor makes the body warm.

My Stone Friends

Though not feeling well, i still did drive to the city to buy some household items. Its really freakin cold and the best way to beat it is to wear extra warm winter clothes. In the city i saw again my stone friend, who's always there rain, snow or shine.



My other friend is a summer attraction in the hotel where we work. But its still winter so i accompany him in this gloomy weather.

The Snow Returns

It's snowing again and my colds returns as well, what a mess!!! The temperature returns to minus degrees but theres a plus in the amount of fluid coming out of my nose and there's a bonus, my eyes produce tears as well. I really feel sick, more sickly because i cannot go out of the house. I need some fresh air outside and i miss browsing the city stores.

Pictures of Interest

Run, Tonette, Run!!! - While browsing our vacation photos, i came accross a picture of me running and i really don't remember the reason why i'm running, blame it on my alzheimer level 1.5. The kids in the picture were also surprised by my actions, me too!!! Maybe, i'm the modern version of Sisa looking for Basilio and Crispin. The picture was taken in Seaworld during our vacation in Brisbaine, Australia.


Tonette reading Yes Magazine - while waiting for our flight to Portugal for our golf vacation, the agony of waiting was solved by reading showbiz entertainment magazine.

Pink and Blue

Though its very foggy the whole day yesterday, we still did drive to Lahr to visit Thomas and Mabel. At the runabout, there are two business establishment that always caught my attention. Why??? because the color of the buildings are pink and blue which happen to be my favorite color.
