Back in Germany - again


Back in Germany I have a lot of stuff to do and it makes me very busy.
But, first of all I had to meet some people and make pancakes!
:)

Blueberry Pancakes - not like the american origianl, but still good.


Picturenight at my mums place.

And then I also got to meet up with the awesome and funny Lucas.
Lucas is normally living in Michigan, but this summer he had an internship here in Hamburg. After we talked over Skype and wrote some messages back and forth, I connected him with some of my friends here . 
And now I finally got to meet him! Yeah!
 
 Hamburg will miss you Lucas!

Madrid - Valencia - Barcelona by bike

Just 5 days after I got back to Germany, I left it again for Spain. 
My friend Jan-Felix and I flight to Madrid to travel through Spain by bike. 

Here is a selection of 811 pictures we took. I still look for a good way to share even more pictures with you guys. I might will give you an update on that. 

No no no - I love my hair.
First of all we had to cut our hair, because we travel just by bike and tent - maybe no showers for a long time. 

 
1st picture - spain here we go!


1st night - yes, it get's super super cold in spain
 We thought I wouldn't get cold in Spain. Well, that is not true! 
It can get super cold in the night. We didn't sleeped much in the first night because it was just to cold. 
But, oh well, this is an andventure!

Never ate a that good watermelon before!


JJ + JF


 Sky on fire.
Not the only friend we made. He helped us with drinks, food and the way.
We also stayed in his house as long as the rain was going on.

Even so it doesn't looks like it, but it can get cold and rainy in Spain.



„Toto, I have a feeling we’re in Kansas again."



Through the mountains.

Yea, Valencia here we come!
Beautiful Valencia.


Breakfast on the ocean - Harmony. Freedom. Independency.
This picture shows one of the parts way I just love this kind of travel!
We are sitting there, have everything for a great breakfast. The sun is just comin' out and starts to give heat. 

 Like I said before, it is an andventure! My chain broke at least 4 times and it was really annoying. Specially because we didn't know how long it will hold and if I can fix it every time. 
But, guess what: We fixed it every single time and it maked this trip even more memorable!
 Outdoor kitchen - nobody complains here about the dirt. 
=)

 "Did you guys even jumped in the ocean?" - "Ohhhh yes! Not just once!"

Daily diary.

I MY BIKE!

Barcelona.
Park Güell.

Architecture in Barcelona.

On the airport - ready to get back to Germany!

With the bike from the airport home. On the way a hug for my mum.

There are so much more stories to tell and pictures to show.


This adventure was amazing and I am so happy to be able to do stuff like this! 
All this wouldn't be possible if my friends and my family wouldn't support me that much.



I SPAIN

Back in Town

Now I am finally back in Germany. 
My mother, my brother and two friends picked me up at the airport. 


We went home to my mother and had a amazing german breakfast!
It was amazing and I didn't even know how much I missed the german food! 
Apfel, JF, JJ, Lukas, Christian, Ulrike und Christine
Americans hear all these storys about the german Autobahn. Here is a picture with my friend JF who makes a handstand on the Autobahn.


Good to have a friend who waits for you at the airport.

I am thankful for all my friends and my family who welcomed me that warm and who maked me the first hours in Germany that easy!

Emotional hours.


Am 6. Juli bringen mich Dan und Jake morgens früh zum Flughafen. 

Mit der oberen Tasche bin ich angekommen.

Nun haben wir Schwierigkeiten all mein Gepäck in den Kofferraum zu verstauen.




You might wonder why we look all happy and cheerful.
This is not a Good-Bye. The story is going on.
Sure it was an emotional moment, but everybody knows that we will get together again.
And: There is just no way to have a bad time with Dan and Jake.
=)

 
 Next time I will just ride my Longboard to Topeka.


This guy is a cowboy. A cowboy with longboard. That's dam right.


It's not a Good-Bye. It's just a "see you later".
I promise.



 


Smile.

4th of July - Happy Birthday America.

What have you been doing last year on the 4th of July?
Nothing big? I guess you haven't been in the US then!

On the 4th of July americans show that they really know how to throw a party. 
It is legen - wait for it - dary! 

You need some stuff for a good party. 


Preparing the car for this great day.


It all started with the big Potwin Parade.



After that we had a great lunch in the neighbors garden.

Time to swing.





After that we prepare for the great dinner party in the Crows back yard.
Apple Pie contest.
First of all we had to find the best Apple Pie.
Don't laugh, this is serious stuff!


And in the night we went to Lake Shawnee to see some cool fireworks.

Das Spiel mit dem Feuer.

If you want to know how to throw a party, go to Potwin on the 4th of July - they will teach you!

Happy Birthday America!
