Even I has been greeted welcome this way. It was back in 1965, when I did a trip with a 20 feet Daycruiser on the Channels of Europe, writing for a Magazine. We even went to West-Berlin by crossing the former DDR. That was not at all fun, as we were prisoned - in a military prision.TorAahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044855607413895442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18090374.post-44311539234646744242007-05-14T14:16:00.000+02:002007-05-14T14:16:00.000+02:00OMG this is where my family is from!OMG this is where my family is from!Shortiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00189492625436010222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18090374.post-18743350049219354642007-05-14T09:14:00.000+02:002007-05-14T09:14:00.000+02:00Moin, Mr. Gattino spent yesterday afternoon in Bar...Moin, Mr. Gattino spent yesterday afternoon in Barcelona, watching Formular I (on TV) !Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18090374.post-4401204294716972172007-05-14T08:03:00.000+02:002007-05-14T08:03:00.000+02:00Wow, this is such a cool port! =O Saving all natio...Wow, this is such a cool port! =O Saving all national anthems in hard disk and playing it when appropriate?

I am already happy when I recognize the European and American flag(s) I have never been to Hamburg or in the North in general with one exception my father made a "Kur" near Hannover and I met a boy there (what else) But Hamburg must be a very nice town. I always love to watch "Jörg Pilawa's Quiz" and sometimes he uses this nice accent ! <BR/><BR/>My new blog is not open yet (tomorrow opening day) but it's just a continuing of the actual one. I had no choice. <BR/>And congratulations to a sister or brother baby ! The age difference will disappear very fast since Lisa with her 16 yrs is already 85 on a human scale so even with your 250 it's no problem and then you can play with each other !!Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.com
