Welcome to our Blog!

Dear Family and Friends! Welcome to our Blog!
Well, we are not sure how you will like the idea that we will post our experiences and stories on a blog format now, but we both had to realize it is difficult to keep up with you all on a regular basis via phone, letter or email as often we are out, travelling or simply do not feel in the mood to sit in front of a computer again (as we do most of the week for work or study).
Actually we feel this idea with a blog is fabulous as we now can share pictures, happenings and news with you all via the blog. Please enjoy the blog and let us know what you think!

Have a good time and cheers,

Griet and Thorsten
