I made it safe and sound! Never in my life have I packed my suitcase so fast. I probably forgot half and packed a lot of unnessessary stuff. But, I caught all my trains, and there were no delays. That in itself is reason to celebrate! :-)

As always when I change trains in Mannheim and have a little time, I went to enjoy a cup of very good tea at the Tea Lounge. It is in the train station and by far the best tea shop I know. You can also drink tea there or get it "to go". And they make japanese rice cakes and sushi. :-) My Dad loves their crackers (I don't), and I usually buy a bag for him when I'm there.










Pelelope recognized me but didn't come to greet me. She has arthitis in her hind legs and likes to move even less now than she did before. Nonetheless, she knows what she wants and makes you understand. ;-)

So, the first thing I had to do was pet her - for a long, long time.













Eventhough she moves less and can't do all the things she used to, she is still a very pretty lady and enjoying life.







Fridolin was also happy to be freed from the suitcase and joined his friends the Malwine-substitute-rabbit, the wild boar, and the "grunting" rabbit on the shelf.











In todays events I almost forgot to open the next package. It was triangular and contained vanilla flavored red tea. My father donated a tea can because the tea managed to work its way out of the skillfully crafted paper bag.

I discovered later that the paper bag, which was made from an A4 piece of paper, had a recipe for plum cake on the inside. I taped the paper back together and will try to make the cake next time I feel like baking. It certainly sounds good. :-)
