We went shopping yesterday, at Costco, that is the American version of the Metro. Yet everything is even bigger. In general all products are at least double the size of the biggest German version available. (and the cart surprised me most, it was so hard to push - you can fit 3 REWE carts in one of the Costco ones!) And our aluminium foil for example, it is so thick and there are 150 square feet in one package (!)
There are mainly two types of Americans to be found in California: the I-don't-care-how-I-look-ones and the overly polished goodlooking athletic suntanned perfect body Americans. And there are the Mexicans, they make over 50% of the population and a great number of them live in their own communities. We had a cleaning team at the house today in preparation of the wedding. Not one of them spoke English. I had to make use of my Spanish as far as I could.
We celebrated Tobys 26th birthday on the beach yesterday with a surprise picque nicque including champagne and chocolate cake. We had a lot of fun digging Julia into the sand and pulling her out again:
Today I embarked on the quest of healing my tense muscles. I did some running, gymnastics, yoga, had a massage... yes, I did all that! And now my whole body hurts... :-) But still I could get an introduction tour to the SB shopping places from Jade.
Oh, by the way, Jade and Toby are the ones who get married on Friday. It is going to be a big event with lots and lots of preparation going on for weeks now. There will be an American and a Thai ceremony. I am so excited about it!
Orange juice. Is amazing here. The milk tastes great, too.

Hi Susi.
to your first problem (W-Lan and making your blog known): I've got the mail with the link of your blog, althoug you've written me on icq before. I don't know, wether you're not sure, if your mail's arrived at your friends accounts.
to your other problem (tense muscles): Sport ist Mord :) but I can feel with you. After conducting my concert on monday evening my back is aching. It was a real good event but also really exhausting, cause we play the program twice on one day (general rehearsal and concert, with only a half hour to relax in between.)But it was a lot of fun, and we collected 122,-€ by gifts, which I filled up on to 182,-€. So we had a nice little booze-up in dexter's. :) So you may imagine, I've got a muscel ache in connection with a hangover. Uuhh.
Anyway. Now I'm curious about the recording, we made. I'll upload, when I get them. so you may hear it.
Perhaps we meet on icq again. I would be pleased :)
I'm hugging you.
Chrischi
