I started in Florida, the name of the place was Cocoa, about 45 minutes from Orlando airport.
We had all the time wonderful weather, except october 27th, the day the NASA wanted to shoot a rocket in the space. Me and some of my students got up very early to watch the rocket, because the studio where I was teaching was very close to Cape Canaveral with an amazing view to the space center. But because of too many clouds they canceled the start for this day.
The 28th was my birthday and Rocio and me went to the ocean, I got a day of from teaching. We went to the beach of Cape Canaveral and didn't even think about the rocket anymore. Until we saw all the people standing at the beach, looking into a certain direction... So it happend that we have arrived there just right in time (10 minutes before) to watche the start of the rocket at the beautiful beach of Cape Canaveral on my 33th birthday!
In the afternoon Ron, Rocio's husband, took me out for a private flight over Cocoa. An unforgetable moment. Thank you both for that great day!
After Florida I was teaching in LA at The Mandrel. I had so much fun with Donna, but I don't really have any pictures to show... sorry! One evening I went out for dinner with a friend, who was moving that weekend from Eugene to San Diego and stayed one night with friends in LA. And they had plans to go to a restaurant which was about 5 minutes footwalk away from my hotel - how fun is that! So I joined them one night and then travelled on to Eugene, Oregon.
The climate in Oregon is very similar to the weather we have here in Germany. So I went from the hot Florida to the nice California and to the cold and rainy Oregon.
I did not teach there this time, but spend some time with my friends and celebrated my first Thanksgiving ever.
Now I'm back in Germany since a few days. It's even colder here than in Oregon and of course I got sick on the plane again. Right now I'm fighting the flu or the cold and the jetlag (and the appetite for chips and sandwiches).And I have a new auction on EBAY.
