Bad Laasphe (quite good, really)

16 Nov – 18 Nov, 2005

Bad Laasphe, guests of Tina’s mum and dad. Went with Tina to Kassel, looking out on the plains from the Herkules monument. We got our first snow for 2005, here. Only a light dusting, but still exciting.

Tina’s mum invited us to visit her class of Grade 1 students. They had prepared a hard line of questioning about Australia. Was it far? What sort of houses did we live in? Did we have kangaroos? Did we have elephants? Monkeys? They all made appropriate squeals and groans when we told them that we had snakes. We finished by teaching them a song in English – Head, shoulders, knees, and toes.

So, where is Australia on this map?
