think green

That's me and the effect november is having on me: getting whiter and whiter (I want my Brazilian sun tan back!) and getting used to really thick wool pullovers. But at least they keep me warm, in nice teamwork with my tea. Green tea of course.

And as green is supposed to be the colour of hope, I'm already looking forward to April/May when the green out there is hopefully coming back again. Anyone complaining? It's only 5 months to go ;-)

november

Rain or no rain, that's the question. And you never know! That near to the sea, weather changes quickly. The negative side: the rain will get you. No matter when you leave the house and where you are going to. The positive side: it probably won't last very long and even in november we get hours (well, sometimes only minutes) of clear blue sky. And there are few better things than a clear, cold november day without rain.
And the second advantages... the sky never looks the same with so many weather changes and you can get see some great spectacles just by looking skywards. Better than some of the movies actually playing in the movies. And cheaper anyway ;-)

Flensburg

Ok girls and guys. In my posh Euro-centric way I simply assume that you know where Germany is. But with a little bit of good will I'll be able to forgive you in case had never heart about Flensburg before knowing me, and thus don't know yet where to locate that little town (of 80.000 habitants.
And YES, I have heard the rumours about Ricardo moving to the north-pole when coming over here, but please remember: between Germany and the north pole, there are still Denmark and Norway/Sweden. But, within Germany Flensburg is actually as near as you can get to the north pole... right here: And here you see a nice little street in Flensbug. It is saturday evening, so there is not much going on. Probably most of the people are at home, drinking tea and eating cake, or their are taking advantage of the great weather to explore the beach.

Yes, Flensburg actually HAS a beach. But of course it is not within the city-center. Although the sea does come into the city center forming a little bay. This is a look from one side of the bay to the other one, where the city center is. Nice, isn't it?

This is right in the city. The house in the middle belongs to the famous brewery of Flensburger Pils ("plopp", for the experts). That's why it says Flensburg Bier. I guess the fountain in the middle also has its nice little legend, but honestly I haven't discovered yet...

I got a postcard

And a BIG one!!!!!
Guess from whom ;-)
Novidades, Ricardo. Alguem tá te adorando (aliás, nao só por causa do cartaozinho, hehe).
48 days to go until you arrive.

PD: Also note the Guaraná-poster right behind my head.
