oh yeah...the german sky

i forgot to tell you...

my current host father has a passion for astronomy...and for those of you that are close to me...you already know that i am a bit of a space geek. i would love to see the earth from the moon's point of view. i am just not sure my ear doctor would like the pressure in my ear that would come from traveling there!!

i loved the movie "Space Camp"from when i was a little girl...


so, Andreas is part of a small, private, hobbiest astronomy club here and we went to this little observatory and it was one of the coolest, spaciest things i have ever seen...i saw jupiter and four of its moons...and i saw saturn and her rings...and a really awesome cluster of 500 billion stars or some amazing number like that. it was just as clear as you would see it in a book but i saw it with my own two eyes from right here in a tiny little observatory in Kronberg, Germany.

have i told you enough about how cool this project is???!!!

thank you Andreas!

Hi Crissy;
Your wonderful trip continues. Now you explor outer space. How cool. Glad to hear you got caught up on some sleep.
I got home late last night. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Dosen't get much better than a noon-time bloody mary on the patio of God's House. Love, Mom
