part zwei... 11:03 PM


i wanted to experience the night life of europe too and so after the castles, the grown ups ventured out for a time sans teenagers, who were way too happy to plop down and not do a damn thing for a change. while they internetted and movied themselves into a stupor, we went to a greek restaurant built on stilts overlooking a marina. we drank wine and ate white fish that was highly pleasing! then to a club. a "ladies" club where, no joke....over half of the crowded room had lusty sexy women dancing around like i had stepped onto the set of the Lword! all the lesbian women are in europe....who knew? AND, the clubs stay up until i dont even know because i couldn't hold my eyes open any longer and we had to leave. i slept and drooled all over martha's jacket on the way home. sorry martha!

the following day we floated down the rhein river and saw a bajillion castles. the sun was warm, the breeze was cool and there where about 5000 people standing around just waitin and hopin for you to get up out of your chair so they could pounce! i wasn't budging! and about 3 hours in, we discovered we somehow missed our stop so we exited quickly and took a train back to rüdesheim.










when we got back home there was much cooking of the schnitzel that the kids devoured. no really! i mean, deeeVOWerd! poor dagmar went back to the kitchen to make more. it was delish! martha and i did a clay mask that she brought back from peru and it seriously sucked my epidermis squeaky clean. (i brought some home) martha reads the blog, she knows the way to my heart is through providing me with concoctions for my face!
notice there is no picture of the martha in a mask....or hardly any photos of her at all for that matter. she does not like to have a camera in her face so instead i photographed the true loves of her life...
below is baby. baby is spoon fed babyfood veggies and hand fed soft dogfood. water is brought to her as she lounges gracefully on the couch. she travels with martha and dagmar and is truly the queen of the house. her discovery is an amazing story. martha found her in the jungle of venezuela and smuggled her to europe. well maybe not smuggled. more like, paid off the authorities.
and this is thor. thor is energetic and playful but not obnoxiously so. he is gorgeous and is built perfectly, proportions of sleek grace... but you know what he does? in my book, it is really the greatest of sins for a dog....
he is a crotch sniffer! front or back, doesn't matter, he is not picky! what to do what to do? ignore it? yell and draw attention? i just say a very indignant...."um, excuse me?!?" just so he understands that he is being wayyyyy inappropriate with a lady!

the kids recovered from their jetlag the following morning finally. this was the day we left germany to come home. figures! i was sad to leave. it was not long enough. there is so much europe to see, so much europe to explore. it wants me and now i am obsessed. i want big square feather pillows, a bidet, clean and quiet streets and culture. i want to learn a new language, try new foods, dance in a gay club with more than 2 gorgeous women, have fresh air....oh and so much more....
