Oh hell, was it cold! Well, we had about -12°C during the night and after having cooked our meals, we had to eat up really quick - otherwise we would have had to eat frozen pasta ice for dinner. But there is nothing greater than waking up in nature on a rock under a tree with all the birds singing their morning songs and greeting the sunlight!
My brother, sister and I met a week before Christmas to continue our CD project that we had started a year earlier. The idea was to create an individual Christmas present for our parents & grandparents and by the way have a lot of fun together since it´s very rare that the three of us meet and share time together. Noi and I had a great time singing half-purely into the microphone. Mac spent hours afterwards to arrange the music and purify our vocals...
Since this was my only free weekend available, Julia and I went hiking in the Rhön on a beautiful mid-December-weekend. I don´t exactly know why, but we were strangely surprised by the amount of snow that fell down on us... .The first night was comparatively warm, but the second night was so cold, that after having bulit up our tarp in the deep snow, Julia and I warmed up a bit in the little restaurant that is located at the Milseburg - and it was really worth it: 2 elderly men played the guitar and the accordion, everybody sang along and we hat hot lentil soup for supper!
Being out in the forest and go hiking is a kind of elixir for Julia and me, so even snow can´t keep us at home. The Rhön is a beautiful place to hike; even in winter - as long as you don´t forget to bring your your long woolen underpants...:)
I better leave this uncommented... the protagonists are: Wenzel, me, Seppel, Lukas and Falk:)
We traditionally meet on the first weekend in December to spend a wonderfully wild, wicked & relaxed weekend together - "we" meaning all the team leaders of NAJU Hessen. The great thing is that we really can do what we want to - chill out, make face masks (Hanna:)), decorate a self-chopped christmas tree, spend the whole night in the sauna, dance, sing christmas songs, bake cookies and even found the worst but apparently happiest death metal punk band ever: "Wenzel und der Viddatroll"...
