Sebastian's First Kindergarten Play

Yesterday Sebastian's kindergarten group performed a short play for the parents. Sebastian was a butterfly (all the 4 year old's were, whereas the older kids got to be rock stars!).


Below are some photos and a video of the butterflies dancing. Sebastian twirled so much he got dizzy and fell over! He was really concentrated during the whole performance; I think he wanted to do his best. It was really cute.


The kids taking the "stage".

This is what is looks like after you give a toddler and ice cream cone!

Ukraine: Danube Delta 2008

A sampling of images from my work retreat trip at the beginning of June. Thanks to my colleagues for their photos too (Sylvia, Andreas, Horatiu, David, Katya).

The car ferry across the Danube between Calarasi, Romania, and Silistra, Bulgaria.



It seems they take bribery very seriously at the border control in Bulgaria!

We are still wondering how that airplane ended up in front of the apartment block.

Lunch on Tataru...


Daily special...Danube fish!


And homemade strawberry wine.


My boss, Tine, and I.

In spite of all the beautiful things in the Danube Delta, you still find environmental disappointments, like this waste dump site.

Tine, Lisa and I at the beach party - a fun end to our meeting!


We don't need a DJ, we have live music for our beach party!

The boat port and border crossing at Izmail, Ukraine.

After the beach party and traveling through the night by bus, we all sleep on the boat back to Romania.

Austria vs. Croatia

Thanks to the girls for the great birthday present: the ticket to the Euro 2008 game, a babysitter, a last, but not least - my Austria T-shirt and flag!

Immer wieder, immer wieder, Österreich!
