Easter in Ingolstadt...

Well yesterday I took the train down to good ol' Bavaria... took a while, almost 6 hours, but it went by really really fast. The others went to the catholic church, ähm...festivities, and I stayed home. They actually recommended I stay home. So I did :-)!

This morning I actually got to look for a few Easter eggs with the kids. Gaby considers me one of the kids in a way :-) I say that with utmost enthusiasm and joy. I gave most of my chocolate eggs to Max and Maria.

We went to the zoo in Munich today, that was a great zoo!! Here is a pic of me with one of the monkeys (click on the pictures to make them bigger):It was quite ironic that I had a banana with me at the time, actually... we even considered charging 50 cents to allow people to take pictures holding my banana next to the statues.

After a while, my cousins got so sick of having me around, they decided to get rid of me as soon as they found a trash can I'd fit into.

I helped Gaby make schnitzel for dinner when we got home, and we are about to go watch King Kong in TV. It should be a genuinely exciting evening. Tomorrow, I'm going to the gym with Gaby where I will be participating in her allegedly very difficult circuit training course--I am actually looking forward to it... hopefully, it will perk me up because I am VERY tired! Today, I had too much chocolate and NO exercise... so I wonder why I'm tired!?

I have uploaded a few videos from the zoo onto Facebook--pretty funny stuff. The cousins are constantly downloading stuff which makes it unfortunately impossible, or nearly so, to upload my pictures here--I really don't know why videos work--so I will have to wait on those until next week...

To my faithful reader (or readers, if you so exist), I hope you had a pleasant Easter and remember what it is we are celebrating-- Jesus is RISEN!


Cheers,
