Unsere Eltern (Our parents)

There's been a drought of posts over the past month, mainly because we have been quite busy with family visiting. Both Jo's and Nathan's parents have been in town, and all have stayed with us in our apartment (for a few days everyone was together, making it full but still comfortable). It was great to see them all after a few months way from home.

Here's a picture of all of us having a birthday dinner for Jo and Nathan at one of our most often visited restaurant in Leipzig. It's a funny restaurant. We've only sat outside, which is quite normal as you can see. On the inside, however, you lie on beds, and eat off tiny tables placed in the middle of the beds. A bit like the romans, except you have to feed yourselves. No photos, unfortunately.

A few updates also on some of our earlier posts.

Rugby League - the Tigers won the NRL grand final!! Nathan was disappointed he couldn't see ANY footage of the game over here.

German election results - after many weeks of negotiation, the "Grand Coalition" has been formed, with Angela Merkel (leader of the black CDU party) becoming the first woman and first East German chancellor. Schroeder, the leader of the other coalition partner (the red SPD) has decided to step aside from the leadership. No-one is sure how this coalition is going to turn out. It will be an interesting time for us to observe this political situation first hand.
