The plan was as always to run around the lake with 2 food stops. We were 6 people this time and slighty varied our track to include some new trails we haven't run before.<br />

The weather was perfect, a lot of sun, and hot enough to include two swim sessions during halftime and at the end. <br />

We have 26 degree celsius here in South Carolina. Sunday I had a bit of time to hike in the Appalachians, climbing up the table rock mountain. The picture is taken on the way down, there are lots of scenic waterfalls and the path is partly leading through dense shrubs of rhododendron looking a bit like in the jungle. Must be even nicer during blossom. The week will be full of work, but we are looking forward for a great bbq on the farm of a colleague on Wednesday.<br />

<br />
Now this week we also got enough snow at home, around 25 cm this week, so I did a small ski tour around Zennern today.<br />

On the downside it is much harder to push the stroller through and around the village, but with the help of our 2 little sled dogs we can manage. :)<br />

But once coming back, he is in urgent need for food and attention. We are wery lucky that he has a good rhythm of feeding and sleeping, especially for letting us sleep long intervals during night.<br />

<br />
The City itself is magnificent and as every Asian capital an impressing contrast to any German city. <br />

I was riding out with Andor today. It was a bit exciting for him in the snow plus he also learned crossing highway bridges and passing kids with firecrackers. He was a bit excited but learned his lesson.<br />

My sister´s boyfriend Mikael Babajanyan sings the role of Fedja Drebedniov. It is sung in Russian with spoken French dialogues. It is a very funny opera, lots to laugh, so if you get a chance to see it please do so.<br />
<br />
