Okay, I had wanted to upload the photos and say something about the trip to Germany (which was right after my conference in Ghent), but I never got round to doing it. So tonight, I told myself I better do it or else I'll never get it done.

So uploaded to my photo pages are my trip to Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin. I have to thank my friend Natascha for being our tireless hostess, taking time off from her work, while we visited Hamburg. I believed she said that she never walked so much in a day before. :D We thoroughly enjoyed her company.

So, to Tasha, thanks and it was great catching up with you...especially for all the FOLC news I missed. And of course, the reunion you clued me in.

Peace,

Sid (Lote)

PS. To the Muslims out there, wishing all of you a blessed New Year as we usher in the 1st of Muharram.
