Friday Foto Fiesta.. THE BERLIN WALL.....

It's Friday, It's Friday, Thank Goodness it's Friday!!!
YIPPEE!I'm playing Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Fiesta Finish again this week .So after you're done here, go over there and check out who's playing this week!!!

I have been thinking about starting yet ANOTHER blog documenting my travels... but who am I kidding? Like I have time for that?

So instead, I am going to start posting my pictures here...(Lucky you...)


This is Moi at the Berlin Wall...taken in 1990... (about 7 months after the wall came down...)

I traveled to the Wall with a bunch of my "West" German friends.... It was such an awesome feeling..being right in the middle of EVERYTHING...





I am standing in East Germany... while my friend Jochen was shooting from West Germany.... (we thought we were being so artsy fartsy "SHOOTING THROUGH THE WALL..."





I am pretty sure that NEON tanks & jackets with my cuffed cut offs were pretty cool at the time... Never mind the Mr. Kool Air sunglasses & my mothers gold HOOPS... Oh my...

Great pics! You could work that outfit today and still look cute in it. I loved rolled up cut offs. Even better was the full jean rolled cuffs and no socks of the 80's. I still have some pics like that!

Love and Prayers,

Tim

Do you still have that outfit? Because the 90s are trying to make a comeback, and you'd be set!

Wow, that is a really neat picture. And your clothes just lend credence that you didn't "stage" the picture somewhere else. That is SOOO of the era :) Adorable!

It must have been amazing to be there so soon after the fall.

Berlin has been one of my favorite trips. It was amazing to see all the history throughout the city. My favorite were the cold era pedestrian walk lights.

I love this picture! I remember being in such awe that you were able to do that. Unfortunately I've lost the piece of the wall you brought back for me...I'm a loser!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
