Oslo, Norway

In the Fjord

These are pics taken in the Oslofjord. What a beautiful place!

Back from Norway

Wow, my very first cruise was just great! My better half and I went to Oslo, Norway, for my birthday.

Here's the Color Fantasy. It's gigantic!

We started the cruise in Kiel, a city in northern Germany. Above is a picture of the Kiel Fjord.

Me in the dining-hall. Oh, let me tell you about good food! Ever heard about a Scandinavian Buffet? You'll love it if you like eating seafood.

I'll post more pictures soon.

A Piece Of History

Some of you may know that, after WWII, Germany was divided into the Federal Republic Of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). The German Democratic Republic existed from 1949 to 1990. The German Reunification took place October, 3rd, 1990.

Last week, I visited the memorial Marienborn, formerly known as Border Checkpoint Helmstedt-Marienborn. This was the largest border crossing during the division of Germany.

Some people tried to flee from the German Democratic Republic but many of them were discovered here - only a short distance from West Germany.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks, guys, for still reading - and commenting! - my blog which I had almost abandoned. During the past months I found it harder and harder to express myself in English. This is probably due to lack of practice. All I ever do is read English books. I don't write much anymore and there's nobody to speak English with. :(
I want to go to London and to Los Angeles bad but I'm totally scared of not being able to understand people.
The weird thing is that I find it easier to listen to Americans (I used to live in the US as kid for a couple of months) but people tell me that I sound very British. I always thought I had some kind of southern accent (having lived in Georgia) but apparently I don't.
Thank you so much for your comments!!! Maybe now I can motivate myself to practice more. My grammer's awful.

Your first projects ever?

Do you remember the first three or so FOs you knitted? Which were the first projects you chose?
Mine were 3 scarves and a Klaralund.
