A crazy Weekend on an expensive Island

I came back from London yesterday and I am still so exhausted. Lets say I did not sleep much over there and I drank too much...
I arrived on Saturday morning, after I had to get up at 4am to be on time at the airport...Gary picked me up at Victoria, we went to his place where I met Anna from Ireland, such a great person! So during the day we went to the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels (but I don't believe that the ones a visitor sees are the real ones). It was really interesting inside of the Tower with all its museums. The other times that I have been to London I have not been inside of anything, except from the Dungeon.
Well, we finished the day with waiting for our table in an Indian restaurant. We had to wait for about 2 hours so we passed our time by drinking 3 bottles of wine (the three of us). As if that was not enough there was beer in the restaurant (and a yummy curry!!!!) and when we returned we drank some German booze. I brought Weizenkorn, which is similar to vodka, as a present for my host and the next morning I could not believe that we drank the whole bottle!!!! But well, I learned my lesson with my big hangover. I would love to show you some pics of that day, but unfortunately Gary deleted all my pics on the camera. He only intended to delete one where he thought he would look ugly but in his state of drunkeness he must have deleted them all. AAAAAAHHH, so annoying!!!!
So the next day we walked to Greenwich and from there we went on a boat along the Thames and passed the Tower Bridge and Big Ben.

We walked to Trafalgar Square and I have to say that London is such a big but beautiful city. I would not like to live there though, I am too much a country girl for that. The weather was cloudy on that day so now all the pictures I have are very dark and not sunny :(
In the evening I saw Heather and Mark, friends I know from Australia who I have not seen for nearly 2 years as well. It has been great to chat and talk about old times, but in the end I was just sooo lucky to hit my pillow.
So yesterday I returned and slept like a baby last night.
Thank you Gary for having me visit, and hopefully see you in Germany next year :)

So I enjoyed my crazy weekend and now I am back to reality, my new semester starts in a week and I have to prepare a few chemistry experiments. Plus there is my English literature examination next months. Well, at least it keeps me busy and stops me from spending too much money. lol.

Going to London

I will be going away for the weekend, I will be going to London!!! I visit a friend of mine whom I have not seen for more than 2 years, I am really excited. I hope we'll have nice weather and I am sure it is going to be great, it has been 6 years since I have last been to London.
I will post on it when I get back!
See you soon!!!

Sea Shells from the Sea Shore

I went out last night to celebrate my passed exam in physical chemistry (yes it is done!!!) and I ended up in a nice international group with people from Spain and Costa Rica. And one of them taught me this one:

She sells sea shells from the sea shore,
if the shells she sells are sea shells from the sea shore,
then I am sure
that the shells she sells are sea shore shells.

woooooooooo, it was an impossible task for me, but try yourself!
And have a nice day!!

I Wish You Enough

I liked this story, so I post it...


I wish you enough

Recently, a mother and daughter were in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough."The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom"They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walkedover to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye tosomeone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"

"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said."When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "Iwish you enough. May I ask what that means?" She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more."When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them" Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory:

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. Iwish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in lifeappear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."


She then began to cry and walked away. They say it
takes a minute to find a special person, an hour toappreciate them, a day to love them and an entire life to forget them.
