To all the Aussies who read this: You cannot imagine what -16 degrees celcius even feels like!!! To all the Europeans who may read this: Isn't -16 degrees a bit too cold, seriously?!
This morning (Saturday) I woke up early and thought I'd do what a good German does on an ordinary Saturday morning: I got on my bike and cycled to the local bakery to get bread rolls for brekkie. I rugged up, it's winter after all, but what hit me when I opened the front door was beyond my imagination: MINUS 16 DEGREES!!! Well, a good German doesn't get discouraged by weather conditions, especially not when they are about to embark on their bikes. So I got on and rode down the road in front of our house. It goes downhill and the road was covered in ice and snow. I prepared myself for an uncomfortable landing in the snowly ditch next to the road...but God must have protected me with His angels because I arrived at the bakery in good condition and high spirits...the beautiful smell of freshly baked bread rolls has never been so wonderful as this morning!!!
So long for my adventures this morning. Michael just took of with his camera and there will soon be some impressions of our winter wonder land on here.
This evening we are looking forward to a performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorium in the Lutheran Nikolaikirche (St Nicolas Church) in Leipzig. Christmas Market afterwards...we can't wait!!!
