New York City 2011

NEW YORK CITY

In summer 2010 I went to NYC with Janina, my best friend Uta and my friends Eva & Florian.

We had sooo much fun....

I am a Country Girl... but got very excited about the Big City.

There is sooo much to see, sooo much to do!

We went to Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Wallstreet, China Town, Little Italy, Conney Island, Central Park, 5th Avenue, .....

But... the main reason why we went to NYC was the U2 concert.

And... it got cancelt because Bono had surgery in Munich :o(

So... we are going again!!!!!!!

RECYCLING 101

Recycling is the process of taking a product at the end of its useful life and using all or part of it to make another product. The internationally recognized symbol for recycling includes three arrows moving in a triangle. Each arrow represents a different part of the recycling process, from collection to re-manufacture to resale.

But what does all this have to do with you? Well, recycling is a simple way that you, as a consumer, can help out the environment, create a profitable market for recycled goods and help preserve natural resources from being depleted. So... let's get involved!

DRAGSTER

During the Race I walked around a little to take pictures, when I came by this black Dragster.

I asked the owner if I could take a picture and he answered "yes, of course". Than he asked he "have you ever sat in one?", I said "no" and two seconds later I sat inside the Dragster.

Dragster are really loud... and really really fast....

Link of the week: TreeHuggerBoxes

TreeHuggerBoxes in Dallas, Texas is a relatively new business that focuses of repurposing boxes. They have a great website and business model that provides a unique and green way to buy, sell and repurpose corrugated boxes. They do not have a store front and do all their business via the web - an underutilized concept in business today. TreeHuggerBoxes has a small operating footprint serving the local Dallas area.

Baby-Ducks

Today we found some ducks at Tractor Supply and bought two little yellow ones. They are so cute. They just moved into their temporary home in our house. It is still too cold outside and they will be with us as long as possible. (The picture shows the ducks in the box we got from Tractor Supply... not their new home)

Our new old "Reimann-Mobil"

Last Friday we bought a new project. The new "REIMANN-MOBIL" :-)

We had to drive 5 hours to the South. The inside is empty, so we got it for a good price. And we want to do the interior by ourself anyways.

The bus is a 1975.

Thank you Robin! For finding this bus for us!!!!
