Happy Birthday, Minna!
Happy birthday, Minna! My sister is long ways from home, working for the UN in Nepal. It's rainy, cold and they only get some hours of electricity every day. She calls it cozy and romantic. I have to agree - just don't count on deep frozen pizza and your favorite CDs at your birthday party! And don't forget the 27 candles, you know, just in case.
Love you!

Holiday Report: Trip to MN
We had a fantastic week over the holidays up in Minnesota, visiting Becky and Brodie with families. Rebecca is my host family sister from 20 years ago as I spent a foreign exchange year in Minnesota. It was great to see everyone again! B & B had all these fun outdoor things organized, please see for yourself at the link below. Actually, as I asked Brodie if they always do this much stuff outside (skiing, ice skating, tubing, sleigh rides, hiking, trekking, biking, sauna bathing, hot tubs, camping... you name it!) he replied, "oh YAH, it seems like we always have something going on...", like the most natural thing in the whole world, you know, like "I've never even thought about it before...". I just love (and -have to admit - envy) their active life in this cozy little town and its surroundings. It feels, in a way, like a whole different planet from Cincinnati, OH.
I have to mention traveling with Amtrak. Not bad, not bad at all! I have to recommend it. Nice cars, good seats, ok food, good staff. The trains run often a bit late, but hey - they sometimes have 3000 miles and snow storms to come through, so what's 4 hours late there? Peanuts. We did miss our connection train Chicago-Cinci though, but got in stead to stay in a pretty nice hotel suite in Chicago. Took a rental car home the day after. No complains from anyone.
Thank you, Becky, Brodie, Calder and Quinn for this truly fun time with you (with and without Benke's Fire Juice!). We'll all keep this Holiday Season in a very special corner of our hearts. Yes, it really felt like saying goodbye to your family!

Having your best friend fly 7000 km to see you makes you humble and touches you to tears. Well, she came, and I'm beyond words. We had a great time both at home and in Chicago. Look at http://picasaweb.google.com/Sandelowskyalbum/Chicago45122007
