Finally...

...the trials about the recent history of Cambodia started. Let´s pray for justice.

And hopefully it is a chance to also look forward and tackle the current issues they face. This wonderful country and people really deserve something better in the future!



If you don´t know the details, I really recommend this book which offers insight into only a small part of the atrocities, but a very intense one.

On Indian tracks

Do you know the book "A walk in the woods" by Bill Bryson? After passing by it at the Delaware Water Gap two times in the last year I couldn't leave it there again this time.

So I used the chance and convinced my colleague to run a small part of the 2600 mile long Appalachian trail after arriving in New Jersey on Monday afternoon.



We went up a most of the way up to Mount Nimsi from Delaware Water Gap, having wonderfull views on the Delaware River from time to time.



We will stay until Friday doing workshops on a production site in Belvidere, an hour and a half west of New York City. It's quite rural here and our hotel is in a very small town called Hope, founded by German pilgrims.

See typical Belvidere below...



...and the crossing over the Delaware.

Sailing is...WOW

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaming: 'WOW!! What a ride!'"
read in Dean Karnazes: Ultramarathon man: Confessions of an all-night runner (Penguin Books 2005)

The sailing holiday was definitely part of the wow-life.

I got the photos from Clemens. Here are just 2 of them:

The ship on the Mediterranean Sea. The photo is taken from a small rubber dinghy, with which we had a lot of fun out there. ;)
