Takhomasak & Euridice

1. Today I discovered that some American friends are also reading this blog now and then, and they were not so happy about the German posts, so: one more reason to write in English! Yes yes, Viki, no laziness anymore!!

Should anyone find that a bad idea or has objections, let me know and I can remove it anytime. Otherwise: Have fun!!
