Hello, my friends.

Yes, it took some time. After "blogging" my Alaska Winter adventures for my German speaking friends in Germany I thought it might be a good idea to create a similar service for my English speaking friends. Especially since I spend so many weekends in England and also exploring new sites in Germany. I hope you enjoy it. I will post photos as well. So stay tuned, I am almost on my way to England and will update this blog on Monday. If everything goes as we planned it, Dave and I will buy a GPS receiver this weekend and start with our firt "geocaching" adventure. Geocaching is like a modern treasure hunt I used to play when I was a little kid. People all over the world have hidden little "caches". Depending on the size it might be a tupperware box with some stuff inside (no, no old food, other things like a coin, a little stuffed animal and a logbook and pen). The GPS coordinates are posted on a special internet page ( www.geocaching.com) and all we have to do is try and find the cache. Sometimes you have to solve a riddle before you get the correct coordinates and that will be even more fun.
