Dear friends,

thank you so much for the lovely comments and congratulations. We celebrate at the moment with a wonderful glas of red wine

a new year of wisdom.... 

We had a fantastic first day in Berlin.

More from Berlin will follow the next days. It´s an important place of German history and our capital city.

We actual only have to replace our leaders...

Dear Lynne, Ron and Hubby,

you´ve written such great words in our blog a few days ago and we are so thankful about that.

Well, pictures show sometimes situations and things we´ve forgotten. If we take the time to feel the spirit of landscapes, animals, situations

we learn again outside of our normal day life how simple life can be and what is really important in life.

There are so many things which are not really important but we need a long time to learn this.

A long time in life I lived the most time for business and careers. But since I know Angelica

my life changed and now I`m really happy and I know what really counts.

We are so thankful to know friends like you.

Let´s enjoy our life and open the eyes and our heart for the things

in our life which really counts

because we have only the one life ....

and don´t let us forget one thing:

"The language is the house of Being"

We are living in a fast living time and the art is to find the moments for the things which really counts.

When we look at the current situation of the world there are a lot of problems.

-

The religion is being used to foment hatred and to start wars, rather than unite peoples and establish peace ...

Terrorists like Osama bin Laden are paid by countries to foment unrest and wars

Most politicians are corrupt and only interested in power, rather than to seek their task for the welfare of their people to take care of.
It is a time without personality, values and character.
All the more important it is that we are steadfast in our belief in freedom, justice, brotherhood, love and peace and remain a better world and stand together friends close.

Hugs from me(Joerg) and Geli(the best thing which ever happens in my life!)

Evening Star by William Blake

Thou fair hair'd angel of the evening,
Now, while the sun rests on the mountains light,
Thy bright torch of love; Thy radiant crown
Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
Smile on our loves; and when thou drawest the
Blue curtains, scatter thy silver dew
On every flower that shuts its sweet eyes
In timely sleep. Let thy west wind sleep on
The lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes
And wash the dusk with silver. Soon, full, soon,
Dost thou withdraw; Then, the wolf rages wide,
And the lion glares thro' the dun forest.
The fleece of our flocks are covered with
Thy sacred dew; Protect them with thine influence.

Stars and the Soul by Henry Van Dyke

Two things," the wise man said, "fill me with awe:
The starry heavens and the moral law."
Nay, add another wonder to thy roll, --
The living marvel of the human soul!
Born in the dust and cradled in the dark,
It feels the fire of an immortal spark,
And learns to read, with patient, searching eyes,
The splendid secret of the unconscious skies.
For God thought Light before He spoke the word;
The darkness understood not, though it heard:
But man looks up to where the planets swim,
And thinks God's thoughts of glory after Him.
What knows the star that guides the sailor's way,
Or lights the lover's bower with liquid ray,
Of toil and passion, danger and distress,
Brave hope, true love, and utter faithfulness?
But human hearts that suffer good and ill,
And hold to virtue with a loyal will,
Adorn the law that rules our mortal strife
With star-surpassing victories of life.
So take our thanks, dear reader of the skies,
Devout astronomer, most humbly wise,
For lessons brighter than the stars can give,
And inward light that helps us all to live.
The world has brought the laurel-leaves to crown
The star-discoverer's name with high renown;
Accept the flower of love we lay with these
For influence sweeter than the Pleiades!

Liebe Freunde,

vielen Dank für die schönen Kommentare während unseres Urlaubs und vor allem für Eure Freundschaft.

Wir hatten das besondere Glück, einen sehr schönen und beeindruckenden Urlaub erleben zu dürfen.

Es war schon etwas Besonderes, auf 2600 Metern Höhe auf den höchsten Berg Deutschlands zu schauen

und auf 3454 Metern Höhe die Berge Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau zu betrachten. Ein weiteres Highlight war das Mont Blanc Massiv mit 4810 Metern Höhe.

Die Fahrten in den Zahnradbahnen dorthin waren ebenfalls sehr beeindruckend. Ebenso die Fahrt mit dem Auto über den Furkapass in 2431 Metern Höhe.

Dennoch war ich froh, als der Pass hinter uns lag.;-)

Es macht aber auch nachdenklich, wenn man sich den Rückgang verschiedener Gletscher von über 1800 Meter seit dem Jahr 1900 ansieht und die gesamte Klimaentwicklung betrachtet. Wenn sich die Erderwärmung fortsetzt, wird es diese wunderbaren schneebedeckten Landschaften bald so nicht mehr geben.

Wie schön unsere Natur sein kann, zeigen die klaren grünschimmernden Bergseen und Flüsse. Wir sind sehr froh, dies alles so gemeinsam erleben zu dürfen.

Wir hatten diesen Urlaub im Vorfeld geplant und mit ca. 4000 km Fahrtstrecke gerechnet. Zum Schluss sind 4585 km in 14 Tagen gefahren.

Wir werden die wunderschönen Plätze und Orte in Bayern, Österreich, Lichtenstein, Schweiz und Frankreich sicher niemals vergessen.

Wir wünschen Dir eine wunderbare Woche und eine schöne Sommerzeit.

Ganz liebe Grüsse,

Geli und Joerg

Dear friend,
Thanks for the nice comments during our holiday and especially for your friendship.

We had the special good fortune to enjoy a very beautiful and impressive experience .
It was something special, at 2600 meters altitude to look on the highest mountain in Germany
and to see at 3454 meters high the mountains Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau. Another highligh was the Mont Blanc massif with 4810 meters on the top.
The rides in the rack railways there were also very impressive. Likewise, the journey by car over the Furka Pass, in 2431 meters altitude.
Nevertheless, I was glad when the pass was behind us. ;-)
It's also thoughtful, if you look at the decline of glaciers over 1800 meters since 1900, considers the entire climate and development. If the warming continues, it will be these wonderful snowy landscapes soon so no more.
How beautiful our nature is may be shown by the green-clear mountain lakes and rivers. We are very glad that we were allowed to make the wonderful experience.

We had planned this vacation in advance and about 4000 km driving route was expected. Finally we drove 4585 km during the 14 days by car.

We will never forget the beautiful places and sites in Bavaria, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and France.

We wish you a wonderful week and a nice summer.
Hugs and kisses,
Geli and Joerg
