And this is Christoph, my brother, my nephew´s godfather and a student of "Internationale Beziehungen" - which do, of course, include girls from other countries, hähä. No, it´s "Internationale Entwicklung", really, I know, Gri!

Carlos and me got to know each other when I first returned from England and then went again the following summer - he came along, and it all started from there - what a decent friendship! Cheers, mate - and what a sexy outfit!

Today I would like to introduce to you some of my best friends - this group here are my best and most understanding football mates, which were relegated with me this season! Still, the best football players I could imagine myself playing with! Talent, athletism and grace combined with beauty - it´s just outstanding! :-)

I would like to introduce you to the "Zweiländerlauf", a running event in my home village of Oberkappel! In the next few weeks and postings, I will tell you more about this special competition leading from Austria to Germany and back again. Also, you can check it out under:

The main event is the pro-competition over 5500 metres. Younger and older "Professionals" and hobby runners from Austria and Germany join to finish the course as fast as possible, never forgetting that, a few years ago, there was a boarder line between the 2 countries they pass through constantly throughout their endeavour. From a cultural and a social point of view, it is an absolutely unique event!
