The Final Countdown

Yes . . . The famous words of Europe. It is a WEEK 'til we (Katherine and myself) leave for Europe.

Our schedule, or lack ther of, (so far) is to touch ground in Frankfurt on the Morning of September 30th. From there we will discover Frankfurt for another day or so. Then we will head North into Germany. We will visit Tom, a powerkiting friend. He runs a shop in Hamburg. We will meet up with Tom and explore Hamburg and Northern Germany. After that we will continue East South East and check out the "new" eastern Germany and see Berlin and many other sites that I have heard are changing fast and for the better. On September 8th and 9th we will attend a German Kite Ground Boarding event in Dornum, Germany. This is a big highlight of the trip. It just kind of worked out and I am excited to see the European side of the kiteboarding sport.

This will conclude our first Germany experience. From there we plan on going to Amsterdam or continue straight to Paris.

In Paris we will try to get tickets to the preview of the Paris Opera Ballet. This will be an amazing experience. Katherine will love the World known company since she is a ex-ballerina and I will love the technical side of the production. We will also picnic by the Eifel Tower and get plenty to eat at all the patiserries.

After that . . . well we really haven't planned that much else. We will have three months to keep ourselves busy. I am not worried.

Auf Wiedersehen
