Message in a bottle October til December 2011
Moin moin,
my best buddies from the USA have been visiting me and I showed them around Germany a little bit. Among others, the Oktoberfest and Bavarian cosiness. And now finally back again: Standing at the Baltic and feeling home. Breezing deeply. And absorbing energy for an eventful autumn and winter program in our Birke. My message in a bottle will inform you every quarter now. These are my tips from October through December.
