Celle qui donnerait le droit de vote bien sûr. A quoi ça me sert d'être British quand j'y connais rien à leur système politique? Dix-sept ans pour  apprendre les valeurs de la république, un bac littéraire et un DESS dans ce pays et pourtant, nulle reconnaissance au bureau de vote. Demain, "on" élira donc le président de mon pays - la patrie que je connais le mieux. Troublée et tiraillée entre deux candidats la bouche pleine de promesses et parfois de sotises, j'aurais peut-être voté blanc. Mais au moins, j'aurais pu participer activement à notre vie politique. Mais là, je suis désemparée presque comme ceux qui se rendront aux urnes demain. Terre d'ingénieurs, d'innovateurs et d'instituteurs, je prie pour ta décision et pour le nouveau président que tu choisiras. Pour &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;notre &lt;/span&gt;nouveau (nouvelle?) président(e): Que Dieu se serve de toi pour retourner la situation spirituelle, économique et sociale de notre pays. Montre-toi souverain dans ce pays, Seigneur! &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Courage à vous qui votez. : JP, Claire, Sandra, Delph', Fanny et j'en oublie. Soyez fidèles à votre conviction.

Session in the home of Shakespeare went well. Short and sweet and inspiring as most London trips are from an advertizing perspective. Regret wearing my high heels all day, but scores of cheesy manly compliments and bending over backwards must have been a sign I had dressed the part. Whatever. My gosh, remind me God to overflow with supernatural love for people and not just to those wearing to-die-for-sexy clothing. Was writing in my diary about that actually and how blatantly different I am treated with a skirt suit: "nice outfit!", "can I get you the Financial Times, madam?", "what a beautiful smile", "can I join the crowds of people flocking around you miss?" (?!) - old men business pick up lines I guess. Give me a break! For me, not much of an alternative since I look young and have to work hard to get some credibility. Tough reality of facts of my youth. And in the meantime, I rant to my blog in my snoopy pyjamas. Cause there is a time and a place for everything and I want to stay true to my giddy self no matter where life takes me.

Neue Verantwortung und Motivation beim Projekt und neue Ansichten einiger Kollegen. Lange Zugfahrt, welche Gespäche und Austausch ermöglichte. Wie genial ist es, Kollegen und ihre persönliche Geschichte besser kennenzulernen. Und ich habe ausnahmsweise Zeit zu schenken - vor allem mit Andrew, der für die Paar Wochen in Kalifornien ist. Find's wichtig, ausgerechnet diese Zeit sinnvoll zu nutzen. Versuche meine Reisen in der Zeit zu planen. Und deshalb geht's auch am WoE nach Paris. Praktisch, hatte eh eine Flug-Strecke übrig von einer alten Geschäftsreise. Werde mich mit meiner ältesten Pariser Beziehung (17 Jahre kennen wir uns schon) treffen. Freuen uns beide über unseren Mädeltreff und für mich ist es eine gute Ablenkung - denn ich vermisse Andrew sehr. Perfekte Zeit um Big Daddy Auszeit zu nehmen. Find's mittlerweile nicht so einfach so weit von ihm weg zu sein, aber es tut uns so wahnsinnig gut, tagtäglich und nun wieder ganz konkret die Kontrolle unserer Beziehung wieder abzugeben.

Started out as a bet between colleagues - who could switch to eco faster. For me, it helps I had been annoyed by the awful rush hour traffic, feeling like a rat trapped in a cage.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;That's what led up to some 20km up and down from the Airport to St Jules - not bad, eh Chris? :) Such a spectacular ride with highlights being a suspension bridge, the cliff view of the river, forests, vast rape seed fields, singing whilst crossing the gridlocked freeways and the many generous Swiss citizens paving the cycle paths through taxes. A 1h30 trip that could surely be shortened without the accidental detours. Hard to find the cyclable roads &amp;amp; paths though the spaghetti freeways. But that was all part of the fun. Don't know if I could get up early enough to do that every day though!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-1626380964829945630?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/1626380964829945630/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=1626380964829945630' title='4 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/1626380964829945630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/1626380964829945630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2007/04/first-commute.html' title='first commute'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-2239415752463317034</id><published>2007-04-19T22:11:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-04-19T22:16:44.302+02:00</updated><title type='text'>nice, lazy sunday afternoon..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RifNZ2FPftI/AAAAAAAAAHw/G0MtSdl1gdA/s1600-h/Claire+Euph+bike.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Es ist ausserdem wirklich super beim Kochen, diszipliniert sein zu müssen, weil ich sonst die Tendenz habe,  nichts zu wiegen oder messen.

Without a clue how much I will be able to blog. So just a scribble before I leave to the airport. Friendly reminder service from mum to update my pink page. We've decided we may both hang in northern Italy for the weekend since I will already be there. We'll see - it's still up in the air as we try to plan this and trips for other people ;). Anyway, the past few weeks have been exciting on many fronts. And have even been feeling rested more than ever before - a new experience for me. It has been great to spend time journaling and dreaming, planning and praising. This past weekend we were in the mountains with parents who have just arrived back. That was peaceful too. All in all, if Mark Walker were to ask me his favorite question now, I'd probably answer despite the hectic nature of  the next few days: "yeah Mark, it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;is &lt;/span&gt;well with my soul".

Car ce genre de chose devient de plus en plus familier..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-6447385425334397062?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/6447385425334397062/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=6447385425334397062' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/6447385425334397062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/6447385425334397062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2007/01/bnis-bloc.html' title='bénis à bloc'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-1598712929252204161</id><published>2007-01-30T20:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-31T00:23:49.841+01:00</updated><title type='text'>marokko oder materialismus?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Haben uns am Freitag Babel angeschaut. Es war eine gute Gelegenheit mit einem Kollegen &amp;amp; Freundin trotz Kälte wegzugehen. Auch hochinteressant, dass die Geschichte gleichzeitig auf 3 Kontinenten geschah. Und seit Freitag denke ich darüber nach - könnte ich noch in einem Dorf mitten in Marokko leben? Vor einigen Jahren hätte ich sofort "ja!" gesagt und gerade diese Flexibilität möchte ich nie verlieren. Die Versuchung kann doch so stark sein, sich an vielen Sicherheiten daran zu gewöhnen - sei es nur mein Kaffee morgens oder mein Auto. In sich sind Sachen nicht schlecht, aber ich will nicht abhängig werden wehe ich meinen Glauben verliere. Ich will lernen das Wort "Abhängigheit" für Gott allein zu erleben. Diese Abhängigheit auf Gott ist die einzige, die uns Freiheit schenkt. Und das weiss ich gewiss. Leider so oft nur mit meinem Kopf.

It was such a privilege to be in Copenhagen - even just in the airport. Journaling on the plane (seems like that is the place I manage to do that most) and pondering upon my goals and dreams of days gone by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"So funny to think I thought I had it all well drafted out in 2003  - by January 1, 2005, I was  going to live in Copenhagen. Sure, I could have forced it to happen. But flying over these Danish isles, I realize how much God has plans far different from our own.  " &lt;/blockquote&gt;And that is just the danger with us goal-focused people. Surely it is good to have goals and aspirations. Sure seems to be easier for the Father to move a ship at sea than one at bay. But then, how flexible am I in giving up dreams of my own - (especially when I broadcast them prematurely)?&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Not wanting to sound trite or distanced from reality - this becomes a daily lesson in humility and abiding when you spend two days in bed and hanging onto the toilet with a stomach flu on your busiest week at work.

La nourriture à été abondante et excellente. J'ai quand même quelques soupçons quant à la quantité qu'on nous sert par rapport à la consommation locale. Hmm.. Aliments préférés à vue de nez: le saumon et le pain. Le saumon frais de la mer puis le pain noir qui est utilisé dans tout - la bière (Kvass), dans les desserts type mousses au pain etc. avec un goût succulent d'Ovomaltine. Nous, on ne peut que répondre "spasiba" - parce qu'on ne sait même pas comment dire "merci" en letton ("paldies") - la honte! Je préfère personellement toujours apprendre quelques mots avant de débarquer dans un pays en touriste américain. Mais bon, c'est pour le business donc on ne va pas chipoter avec mon dico de vacances, hein euph'?

Yet w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;hat an adventure these last few days have been. It has been amazing all around. I can't quite say what has been the best part: having someone to help you fit a heavy box in the car? being able to voice opinions about frustrations? reliving the days I first arrived in France?&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;But guys, this young man is courageous. Andrew has braved the city transport to master public transport: car, train, tram and bus everyday - amazing. He even made it to running club tonight - yikes, a special night with different stations to work out different muscles. The trainer yelled at me to go to jump rope because I had apparently not been working hard enough. In the meantime, I saw a tall Andrew in the distance with tires strapped to a cord to his waist &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;- fitting right in with the other smelly men in spandex. I'm sure he'll blog about that soon.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, all in all so much fun - from building dressers like last night to going to concerts like tonight.

Fallait juste saisir la rare opportunité de pouvoir enfin changer mes pneus d'été. J'ai demandé un rabais justifié entre autres par le fait que je revienne en fidèle cliente. Résultat des courses: gonflage à l'azote gratos et 25% de remise sur la facture originelle. Suffisait de demander. Avec des grands yeux. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Avec la petite négotiation d'hier pour éviter de payer 50USD par valise (dont une appartenait à mon jeune homme) qui dépassait la limite de poids, je me sens un poil plus riche. (Seulement un poil car toutes les factures semblent "tomber" ce mois-ci: Swisscom mensuel, vignette, assurance auto annuelle, assurance santé trimestrielle, loyer, assurance maison annuelle, assurance apartement annuelle..) Le secret, c'est dans les grands yeux. :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Autrement, après avoir lavé Rhonda et fait quelques courses, c'était le grand rangement ici avec une nouvelle découverte - ma cave!

Airport smells like plenty of young people partied here. The stench is a combination of stale beer, travelers sleeping on the ground and waste lying around. No New Years' party this year for me - in fact the captain forgot to celebrate. I am glad he was concentrating on flying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;however, as the turbulence was particularly violent on the transatlantic. Other than that, the three flights back to &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Geneva&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; are a piece of cake compared to the "&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; to West coast" ones. No jetlag. Nothing. But what a privilege to have been able to be on both East and West coasts in these few days. Indeed what an honor to be able to spend this Christmas season with Andrew and family, my immediate family, cousins, Marion, grandma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; I think this has got to be my favorite part of Christmas - spending quality "down time" developing family relations and solid friendships&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZk3peJluzI/AAAAAAAAADY/IHcTKp2tdJI/s1600-h/don+heckmans+and+grandma.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZk3peJluzI/AAAAAAAAADY/IHcTKp2tdJI/s400/don+heckmans+and+grandma.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015100845661207346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As 2007 is now upon us without the captain even warning me, this is precisely what I would love to see this year: a greater sense of love for “community”. More of my time invested into select relationships. In essence, more outreach. I achieved just about all of my 2006 resolutions (crazy, eh?), though I’d like my new year 2007 to be less “resolution” or goal focused, and much more focused on developing this intimate relationship; a relationship so close to God’s heart that I will become less and less ingrown and in that, begin to understand God’s calling upon my life and in ministry. Not my own calling for my own life. I know that this yearning is one shared by Andrew too - to learn to “abide in Him” and in doing so, share God’s infinitely deep and wide love to others. In this sense, it will be an exciting time understanding together how best to “love on people” and what community could mean practically. I am so excited about Andrew coming this very week even just to explore questions like these together. Also to simply understand how to be at a place of utter dependency on God and adoration before the Lord&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;In this quest, I think this song entitled “Effortless” that Andrew shared with me might even have become my own personal prayer for 2007:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

Wir haben vor kurzem unsere &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Geschenke ausgepackt - Duschgel, eine coole Schere und sogar Geld von Oma. Viel schöner als die Geschenke ist allerdings diese kostbare Zeit mit den zwei Familien (und Sims Freundin!). Haben uns heute Mittag genommen um alle zusammen zu essen. Mehr als diese Zeit zusammen zu finden ist eigentlich etwas schwierig. Die zwei Cousins arbeiten tagsüber und Simeons Freundin fliegt heute Abend schon ab. Das ist nun kein strenges Familientreffen mehr, sondern die Gelegenheit immer wieder die eine Stunde mit einem Cousin zu nehmen. Familie ist schön! Ich freue mich auch riesig auf Marion, die ich in Malaysia kennenlernte. Stimmt, das war echt eine Zeit reich in Begegnungen dort. :) Tja, meine lieblings deutsche Freundin von Malaysia kommt gleich vorbei bevor sie nach Chile fliegt. Dieses Haus voller interkulturellen Geschichten aus Jordanien, Frankreich, Korea und und und ist in diesem Sinne echt genau perfekt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-2435455665191712641?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/2435455665191712641/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=2435455665191712641' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/2435455665191712641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/2435455665191712641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/freundin-nach-familientreffen.html' title='freundin nach familientreffen'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZWF33IjsVI/AAAAAAAAACo/l-atin0zvUM/s72-c/CIMG3644.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-3614900687927433561</id><published>2006-12-29T04:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-29T04:25:08.344+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZSJwXIjsUI/AAAAAAAAACc/jy2j6YxnoLI/s1600-h/three+kids.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZSJwXIjsUI/AAAAAAAAACc/jy2j6YxnoLI/s400/three+kids.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5013783749106839874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZSJwXIjsUI/AAAAAAAAACc/jy2j6YxnoLI/s1600-h/three+kids.JPG"&gt;rare..&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-3614900687927433561?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/3614900687927433561/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=3614900687927433561' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/3614900687927433561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/3614900687927433561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZSJwXIjsUI/AAAAAAAAACc/jy2j6YxnoLI/s72-c/three+kids.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-5894833307351598920</id><published>2006-12-29T02:49:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-29T05:29:28.423+01:00</updated><title type='text'>résumé rapide</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZR0nnIjsRI/AAAAAAAAAB4/jniScDONW54/s1600-h/AE+standing+close.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 223px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZR0nnIjsRI/AAAAAAAAAB4/jniScDONW54/s320/AE+standing+close.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5013760509038801170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Je viens de me rendre compte qu'ils ont le w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ifi chez mes cousins - donc si j'ai le temps, je posterai un pe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;u plus depuis ici. J'ai pris plein &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;plein &lt;/span&gt;de photos. Les quatre jou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;rs en Californie étaient géniaux et in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;tenses. Je me souviendrai longt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;emps de l'adorable coiffeuse, de temps passé à la plage la veille de Noël, de notre bal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;lade de nuit, du réveil le jour de Noël, de la façon dont la famille m'a acceuillie et bien plus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Impossible de tout raconter ici en quelques lignes mais bon, mon journal intime témoigne d'un temps incroyablement fort.

On m'a changé mon vol pour que je puisse avoir ma connection. Finalement arrivée à Houston, j'avais  12 minutes entre l'atterissage d'un avion et le décollage de l'autre. J'ai couru comme une malade pour l'avoir - et remercie par ce biais le club d'athlé de Saint Julien - lol. J'ai entendu le redoutable "this is a final boarding call for flight xyz to Philadelphia" et me demande encore comment mes valises ont pu me suivre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mes frères étaient à l'aéroport pour m'acceuillir. Stephen, je l'avais vu la veille à SF. Siméon, ça fait quand même un bail. Puis c'est la première fois que je vois sa cops avec lui. C'est chou quand même. Mon oncle nous a emmené à la maison où j'ai pu voir mes cousins et me poser un peu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZSHeXIjsTI/AAAAAAAAACQ/OgaUdga2ATM/s1600-h/CIMG3609.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 200px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZSHeXIjsTI/AAAAAAAAACQ/OgaUdga2ATM/s320/CIMG3609.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5013781240845938994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Aujourd'hui &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;on a fait une petite rando puisqu'il faisait tellement beau - en voici une photo avec mon cousin, mes frères, mon oncle et ma tante! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;J'ai ensuite revu ma grandmère - la première fois depuis 5 ans. Décidemment, Noël 2006, c'est rempli de moments forts. Pour continuer dans notre élan, ce soir, mes parents nous rejoignent depuis les Carroz. La famille dite française sera alors au complet chez la famille jordanienne. Un mélange très ecclectique et tellement tellement drôle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-5894833307351598920?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/5894833307351598920/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=5894833307351598920' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/5894833307351598920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/5894833307351598920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/rsum-rapide.html' title='résumé rapide'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZR0nnIjsRI/AAAAAAAAAB4/jniScDONW54/s72-c/AE+standing+close.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-3351762563725752998</id><published>2006-12-25T00:06:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-30T00:07:27.378+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZWfqXIjsXI/AAAAAAAAADA/9lD4p-ATJd4/s1600-h/berret+adjusting+sepia.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZWfqXIjsXI/AAAAAAAAADA/9lD4p-ATJd4/s400/berret+adjusting+sepia.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5014089310260146546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-3351762563725752998?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/3351762563725752998/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=3351762563725752998' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/3351762563725752998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/3351762563725752998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/blog-post_25.html' title=''/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RZWfqXIjsXI/AAAAAAAAADA/9lD4p-ATJd4/s72-c/berret+adjusting+sepia.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-1244936105563360971</id><published>2006-12-22T02:37:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-22T03:06:48.158+01:00</updated><title type='text'>note in the night</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Another crazy 12 hour day in which I didn't even have the time to share around the carrot-coconut cake. How sad to have to take it home. It was on my desk all day but I kept receiving last minute before end of year requests that came in the way of my own urgent pending end-of-year tasks. I kept picking the phone up and missing someone else's call. Interesting dynamic with those who want to talk and celebrate vs. those who need the quiet to concentrate on getting all the their projects closed for the year. I knew my own tasks were virtually unsurmountable if I didn't become a bit unsociable. Sometimes that is just necessary and I found myself cutting some longer stories short. And sure enough the discipline paid off. At 20h30, I was officially on vacation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYs6i3IjsQI/AAAAAAAAABs/QKCmyJXEXRw/s1600-h/andrew+reading.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 184px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYs6i3IjsQI/AAAAAAAAABs/QKCmyJXEXRw/s320/andrew+reading.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011163380969615618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My personal "to do before USA" list being longer than my arm, I ran to La Praille to pick something up and then got home to tackle the lot. Still need to clean up here, finish packing in the morning. But should try to get a little sleep now. Bonus, I have a special hilly billy taxi coming to help me to the airport. Dad called and said that the mountain taxi service wanted to do that. That way Rhonda can stay in the warm underground for the time I am gone.. nice! And so from tomorrow, I will be a few days with Andrew and family, then cousins and family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; Why don't I even own a picture of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;myself &lt;/span&gt;reading a book??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; This is an unapproved pic I am posting up here because I love it and figure it'll be a while before Andrew demands the post is deleted as he is running his feet off the ground to get stuff closed at work too: candidate interviews, work handover, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;packing, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;moving, driving, AIRport pickups. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Can't wait.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-1244936105563360971?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/1244936105563360971/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=1244936105563360971' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/1244936105563360971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/1244936105563360971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/note-in-night.html' title='note in the night'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYs6i3IjsQI/AAAAAAAAABs/QKCmyJXEXRw/s72-c/andrew+reading.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-6720424259119195963</id><published>2006-12-20T21:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T22:18:59.726+01:00</updated><title type='text'>schreck und schlafmangel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;,,Schon &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;wieder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;??" ärgerte ich mich als ich die Uhr gesehen habe. *&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;schreck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;!* ,,08:45 und ich wollte eigentlich um diese Zeit vor zwei Stunden in der &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Firma &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;gewesen sein!" Ich machte schnell Licht überall an, und die Musik besonders laut. Das steigert die Leistung. Hab's noch hinbekommen einen Eiskaffee runter zu schlucken bevor ich in die Dusche rannte. Habe mit mir selbst richtig laut geschumpfen - ,,Ja also, wirklich, du geht's um 2 ins Bett und willst um 6 aufstehen!? Bist echt doofie! Tja, irgendwann geht das einfach nicht mehr!" Shampoo und Seife Runde .. und rausgerannt! Noch nass, schnell auf die Uhr geschaut für das Urteil. .. häh? Auf mein Handy geschaut..

We have this outter dirt track we train on now, which is convenient as the flood lights (just) let you see where you are going. Bummer, no excuses for canceling  "vital" interval training. Thursday it was pyramid intervals: 1'/2.5'/2.5'/4'/2.5'/2.5'/1' with 30-60 second lighter jogs to get your heart rate down  between sprints. It's too cold to walk and the point is surely not to get sick. Trainer said I could never have kept up last month like I do now - so I was naturally pretty excited. Still, I could tell it was going to be tough to get myself psyched to run outside in the bitter cold (wet) at the &lt;a href="http://www.course-saintinn.org/"&gt;Corrida Saint Inn'&lt;/a&gt; on Saturday night - about 1h away from here in a place called &lt;a href="http://www.lebiollay.com/villa-location-saisonniere.htm"&gt;Brison Saint Innocent&lt;/a&gt; / France. So many excuses in my head seeing as this is indeed the last weekend free before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Still, I told myself I'd go and invited KC, an American "au pair" friend to join. It was great she was there since she replaced one of the girls from the club, who had fallen sick.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;In the end, the race was just a blast. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;So&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;much&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;fun&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The organizers even gave some of the women participants orange flashing "tags" to run with - just for the fun of it. The 7km winded around people's houses including street torches, a few houses with Christmas lights (!) and music blasting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYW7THIjsII/AAAAAAAAAAM/1IAj0xHYNqw/s1600-h/saint+inn.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYW7THIjsII/AAAAAAAAAAM/1IAj0xHYNqw/s320/saint+inn.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009616097526395010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYW9DnIjsOI/AAAAAAAAAA8/E13ajC82evM/s1600-h/start+line.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYW9DnIjsOI/AAAAAAAAAA8/E13ajC82evM/s320/start+line.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009618030261678306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Before the men's  veterans &amp; juniors, they had this mini formula 1  and concept car parade.

It was a good 7km battle through the hilly roads of Brison - a good point of comparison to the men's Escalade. And a (long) evening of prizes and food and party followed. And, yep, I got another sports bag :). Could have done without the long evening but did get caught up today - including catching a vital airplane ticket problem at the airport, which could have caused plenty of grief come Friday! You heard it, I am flying to San Francisco on Friday. Oh.my.gosh. So excited, yet still so much to do before then! eeeeek..&lt;br /&gt;Still, no regrets about participating on Saturday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Should be pictures of the race up on the club's site soon.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;PS: Added a picture in previous post entitled &lt;a href="http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/shortly-said.html"&gt;shortly said&lt;/a&gt;.. just because I am freeing up my camera for some crucial pictures.. yodele hi hoo!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-9056177628967520964?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/9056177628967520964/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=9056177628967520964' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/9056177628967520964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/9056177628967520964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/flashing-females.html' title='flashing females'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_jzDjravmTx4/RYW7THIjsII/AAAAAAAAAAM/1IAj0xHYNqw/s72-c/saint+inn.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-4768890693791656075</id><published>2006-12-12T22:31:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-12T23:45:25.473+01:00</updated><title type='text'>apart' pour andrew</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;J'avais tellement de choses à faire ce matin - j'ai eu le malheur de consulter mes mails hier soir à mon retour de déplacement. Et puis, comme par hasard, la tête était partante, le corps peinait. De sale poil et surchargée de multiples sacs (laptop, sac à main, sac de sport), je suis passée à la boulangerie (Car forcément ni le temps de manger ce matin, ni les CHF même pour m'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;"&gt;acheter &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;à manger à midi..) Puis c'est là que la boulangère me souhaite "bon voyage". Parfaitement d'actualité hier, quoique - elle n'était pas réveillée à l'heure où je partais. Mais aujourd'hui, il est vrai, j'avais plus de choses que pour aller à Barcelone. Quand la femme souriante m'a souhaité "bon voyage", elle m'a cassé le nuage menaçant. Un vrai rayon de soleil pour créer de cette image une métaphore filée. Elle croyait que je partais en voyage! lol. Journée lourde mais extraordinaire qui s'est achevée par l'athlé en 12 x 30" x 30" x 2 - en gros 24 sprints après un premier long footing. Saint Inn, c'est ce samedi! Puis la visite d'un studio en pleine "zone" - des rangés d'immeubles qui me semblaient parfaits pour trainer en été pour apprendre l'arabe. Ce que je voudrais faire un jour. Acceuillie par une vitre cassée dans le foyer de l'immeuble et un des premiers modèles d'ascenseurs repeint en bleu ciel à la mode il y a 15 ans, j'ai voulu regarder ce qui valait vraiment 590 EUR par mois. Inutile de préciser que c'était à nouveau un scandal "justifié" par la proximité de la frontière suisse. On aurait dit une cours recré à l'étage et c'était tout simplement pas le home office où Andrew serait tranquille pour passer ses aprèms. Et puis, ce même soir - j'ai trouvé.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Un studio dans la même ville que moi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;En fait dans le même immeuble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Fin, en fait, on sera dans la même aile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Vu le prix, les circonstances vu la demande, l'urgence et l'incroyable main de Dieu sur cette chose - j'ai donné la caution. Le locataire finit son déménagement le jour où Andrew arrive - le 5 Janvier prochain. Amen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-4768890693791656075?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/4768890693791656075/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=4768890693791656075' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/4768890693791656075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/4768890693791656075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/apart-pour-andrew.html' title='apart&apos; pour andrew'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-699116263064732987</id><published>2006-12-11T04:30:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-18T00:02:24.740+01:00</updated><title type='text'>shortly said</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Good morning world!

Die &lt;a href="http://www.asj74.org/actu.php?idactu=1995"&gt;Stimmung&lt;/a&gt; bei der &lt;a href="http://www.escalade.ch/spip/index.php3?lang=fr"&gt;Course de l'Escalade&lt;/a&gt; war einfach grossartig - ganz abgesehen von meiner sozusagen ,,Leistung". Erst am Montag haben wir dann erfahren, das ein Mann mit 51 mitten im Lauf gestorben war.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Und so geht das Leben - keiner weiss was morgen dran ist. Plötzlich haben die zwei Abende am Wochenende mehr Bedeutung bekommen. Es ging um Erettung der Seele und nicht nur wieder um irgendeine Aufgabe in der Gemeinde. Es war schon etwas stressig am Wochenende zu laufen und dann gleich 2 x 4 Stunden mit Dolmetschen beschäftigt zu sein, aber es war so wichtig. Crossroads Teenies haben ein edles Essen serviert, während verschiedene Gäste zuhörten. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.debrasearle.com/"&gt;Debra Searle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; hat erzählt wie sie 3 Monate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.debrasearle.com/rowing.htm"&gt;allein am Meer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; unterwegs war, nachdem ihr Mann vom Boot gerettet wurde. Sie hat Zeugnis gegeben, wie sie sich für Gott entschieden hat und was sie durch Ihn in der Zeit und danach erlebte. Die Geschäftsleute, Kollegen, Nachbarn von Gemeindemitgliedern waren alle so offen, wahrscheinlich weil Debra ziemlich bekannt und dadurch glaubwürdig ist. (Sie trifft sich mit Prinz Edward und Philipp jeden Mittwoch, hat ein Buch geschrieben, steht auf Abenteuer, hat zwei Unternehmen gebaut und ist natürlich wahnsinnig sportlich.) Die Franzosen, bzw. Araber haben nicht nur ihre Leistung, sondern auch ein Zeugnis von einem lebendigen Gott gehört. Und aus diesem Grund hat sich das Simultandolmetschen gelohnt. Und das mag ich auch total.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Sonntag Nachmittag wurde ich noch als Gast zum Jugendkreis eingeladen und Debra auch. (Das zeigt wie ich langsam alt werde, als Gast eingeladen zu werden, oder? lol) Die Jugendlichen wollten fragen über Beziehungen, Sex, Ehe stellen und IRGENDwie wurde ich ausgewählt. Ich find's lustig, gerade jetzt aber auch unheimlich wichtig so offen darüber zu diskutieren. Naja, und nach dem Gebet mit den Mädels war der Nachmittag auch schon rum.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Bevor Debra wegfuhr wollte sie meine Email Adresse. Ich war selber von ihrem Zeugnis in der Fragerunde am Nachmittag und am Abend so berührt und habe so viel in ihrem Leben gesehen, womit ich auch zu kämpfen habe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Sie ist auch endlich eine Frau, die von Gott und vom Leben etwas will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Amen! Denn ich habe zur Zeit zu viele ,,Mäuse" gesehen. H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;offentlich werden wir ein bisschen mehr austauschen können.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Tja und das war nur das Wochenende. Seitdem ist wieder viel passiert. Haben glaub, eine Sprachschule für Andrew gefunden, die Visumgeschichte abgeklärt und sein Flug definitiv gebucht. *freu*. Auf der Arbeit auch wahnsinnig viel los - erst nach 21h zu Hause gewesen gestern Abend. Mach's aber gern. Heute Abend gab's wieder Sport. Pierre hat angekündigt, dass ich am 16.12 im &lt;a href="http://www.course-saintinn.org/"&gt;Saint-Inn&lt;/a&gt; laufen werde. Hmm... na dann!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-748162777448987829?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/748162777448987829/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=748162777448987829' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/748162777448987829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/748162777448987829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/12/sport-und-simultandolmetschen.html' title='sport und simultandolmetschen'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-4515164210953051980</id><published>2006-12-02T16:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-03T01:38:34.496+01:00</updated><title type='text'>euphonies et l'escalade</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;148ème / 638 classées Femmes I - contente d'avoir pu sécuriser une place dans le premier tiers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; Un peu dégoûtée du coup du lacet. J'ai dû m'arrêter en pleine course pour refaire mon lacet - jamais cela ne m'était arrivé. Pourtant, j'avais vérifié juste avant. Hein?? Bon bref. Si je veux faire davantage en 07, il faut juste m'entraîner plus - il n'y a pas trop de secrets. Ca serait débile d'être frustrée avec 3 semaines d'arrêt.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Je suis restée pour encourager les Femmes II jusqu' au bout car les dernières ont presque plus de mérite que les premières. Elles courent plus longtemps et parfois pour la première fois. Encore une fois incroyable comment certaines ont accéléré après deux mots d'encouragement d'un visage étranger dans la foule. Courage pour ceux qui courent ce soir,notamment Paul. L'ambiance vibre en ville entre le marché à Plainpalais et la 29ème Course de l'Escalade.

It's the largest race in Switzerland.  Since I was already in Geneva, I s(w)ung by to pick up my number in town after work. It was nice to just stroll along the Parc des Bastions, to see some last minute runners train (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Now I ask you, is that wise the night before?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;) and to enjoy the crisp evening. The calm before the storm. Quite a reassuring feeling after the blur of this eventful week ending in a exacerbated scurry to meet the month's closing and the grandeur of an exquisite bouquet of flowers delivered to my office. *grin* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The Léman Bleu bus was already there near the Reformer's Wall with its trailer eager to be the first bird to catch the latest news worthy snippet. The mood setting screens will probably be going up in a few hours. Such a contrast to the picture I'll see tomorrow with runners leaving every 30 minutes like herds of cattle up the alleys Calvin walked through. Though there hasn't been the required training on my side to make this an honorable effort, it will no doubt be fun to wade uphill through the herd of 700+ girls my age frothing at the mouth. Must be a lot of fun to watch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Really interesting that I didn't sign up for the evening dress-up race (La Marmite) since I couldn't find a team to go crazy with designing ridiculous costumes. I totally would have done it. But it turns out, I would have had to drop out anyway for the two evenings to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;translate "the girl who traveled the Atlantic solo" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;at Crossroads.

Les microbes et le déplacement auront rendus les entraînements difficiles. Mais bon, je suis inscrite, donc je me dis, pourquoi pas y aller en touriste comme l'année dernière. Manière, pas trop le choix. Le sport, c'est comme la musique - c'est au moins 80% la discipline, puis 20% le talent. Je vois que je pousse un peu, mais il y a tellement de choses à faire au lieu de dormir. Ce soir par exemple, c'était la soirée louange et intercession pour Genève à l'Eglise du Plein Evangile au Petit Saconnex. Vraiment une soirée inoubliable. Un petit garçon m'a marqué. Il devait avoir cinq ou six ans et était le premier à se mettre devant, à prendre un drapeau et à danser en toute simplicité devant Dieu. Il ne regardait pas ses parents ou les gens autour - mais était perdu dans la louange libre. Quelle image puissante qui illustre notre besoin de venir au Père avec une foi d'un enfant. En tout, la soirée était remarquable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-8181501070127447357?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/8181501070127447357/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=8181501070127447357' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/8181501070127447357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/8181501070127447357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/11/escalade-et-enfants.html' title='escalade et enfants'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-3383995244180113166</id><published>2006-11-21T23:53:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-22T00:19:50.295+01:00</updated><title type='text'>ganz viele gedanken</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;War den ganzen Tag daheim. So richtig krank aber trotz Grippe einigermassen glücklich (wenn das noch möglich ist). Ich wollte mit der Hillsongs London DVD herumhüpfen aber das ging leider mit dem Kodein nicht. Irgendwie ist es frustrierend den ganzen Tag ruhig zu bleiben. Ich bin dazu unfähig. Die Leute, die mich kennen werden das gut nachvollziehen können. Ich habe geschlafen ohne Ende und zwischendrin viel nachgedacht. Konnte nicht viel Anderes machen. Ist mir erst jetzt bewusst geworden wie verrückt das ist mit dieser Beziehung, mit Andrews Kommen ab Januar und so. Am Sonntag habe ich meine Flüge umgebucht, damit ich mit seiner Familie Weihnachten bei San Fran verbringen kann. Vier Stunden, um die richtigen Verbindungen zum richtigen Preis zu finden - nicht schlecht. Acht Flüge sind's nun mittlerweile innerhalb von zehn Tagen - sonst sehe ich meine Cousins und meine Oma in Philly nicht. Konto ist wieder leer aber dafür mein Herz voll. Nie zuvor war der Herr so im Zentrum von meinen Entscheidungen. Es tut &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;so &lt;/span&gt;gut. Und ich nehme an, wenn das Er's will, dann findet Andrew auch Wohnung, Arbeit und vor allem Frieden bei seiner Kündigung. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-3383995244180113166?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/3383995244180113166/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=3383995244180113166' title='5 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/3383995244180113166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/3383995244180113166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/11/ganz-viele-gedanken.html' title='ganz viele gedanken'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-9081303230248029315</id><published>2006-11-21T14:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-22T00:21:18.939+01:00</updated><title type='text'>finally, some facts</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2598/1100/1600/950536/Icerink%20central%20park.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 281px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2598/1100/320/495933/Icerink%20central%20park.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Saturday, I took time out to reflect on the week before.

The seams in the freeway, the strawberry cream cheese and the free wireless were just so fun. I guess being there with someone who knows your anxiousnes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;s, your anticipation and enjoys it helps.

We had to remind ourselves neither to let the perfect circumstances nor the intensity of our weekend cloud our view and decision making capabilities. It's not like I want to fill the whole Internet into what happened that day...&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Still, after hundreds of frustrating and thrilling hours of Skype over none less than 9 time zones, Andrew held my hand in person. A heart-felt declaration followed him asking me to think and pray about how I felt if he gave up his job, flat, life at the end of this year and came over to live here for a few months. The idea being, we will never be able to get to know each other better over Skype if one of us doesn't make a move. A great time of prayer together followed in Central Park and I was left to bring it up to God on my own this last Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The role he plays at his company makes the step all the more significant. It goes without saying that it will be a tremendous loss for them. Yet we have both separately flooded heaven's gates with zillions of questions and earnest desire for wisdom and guidance above our desires. So, what happens when inexplicable peace enough for today abounds and yet the fut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ure remains unknown?&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;A crazy step like Andrew coming to live in Geneva/ France the first or second week of January 2007.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;SO excited!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-9081303230248029315?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/9081303230248029315/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=9081303230248029315' title='6 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/9081303230248029315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/9081303230248029315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/11/finally-some-facts.html' title='finally, some facts'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-8751959478486454521</id><published>2006-11-18T23:54:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-19T03:46:39.260+01:00</updated><title type='text'>la liberté</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2598/1100/1600/811268/statue%20sky.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2598/1100/320/222423/statue%20sky.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;De retour.

Aujourd' hui, c'était important de défaire mes valises, de faire quelques courses et de faire le plein librement. Ma voiture en a besoin aussi, mais je voulais dire le plein avec Dieu. J'ai éteint les lumières histoire d'avoir un peu moins de distractions et j'ai tout simplement passé un moment incroyable avec le Père. A Lui étaler mon coeur, mes émotions, ma semaine. A Lui demander ce qu'Il en pense de la suite. Tu te rends compte qu'Il s'interesse à ta vie amoureuse aussi? hein? ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-8751959478486454521?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/8751959478486454521/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=8751959478486454521' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/8751959478486454521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/8751959478486454521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/11/la-libert.html' title='la liberté'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-116311307715698324</id><published>2006-11-09T23:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-10T00:04:31.230+01:00</updated><title type='text'>ab nach amerika</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;Muss noch packen.

Die neue Stelle ist voller Erlebnisse, Herausforderungen und Erwartungen und ich komme kaum dazu mein Gehirrn zu beruhigen. Ist eine ganz andere Welt wieder. Ich freue mich also auch für die stille Zeit in der Luft, die ich besonders jetzt brauche. Gestern Abend waren Reuben Morgen und Delirious in Genf. Die Musik vom Herrn Morgan ist sooo gut. Ich habe den Sänger von Hillsongs Gestern neu entdeckt. Coole Sache. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ok, ab ins Bett Euph'&lt;/span&gt; - ja, muss weiter wollte hier ein Lebenszeichen kurz hinterlassen.

Un "plus" - commencer avec un inbox propre - lol - mais plus pour longtemps à vue de nez! Contente donc de l'endroit, du métier ultra interessant, des opportunités.  NY,  c'est vendredi  déjà!!

L'entraîneur m'a dit que je pouvais avoir une "cloppe dans le bec" tellement je donnais l'impression que je ne forçais pas. Pourtant, chaque foulée me paraissait comme une barrière de l'impossible. Contente d'y être allée. Ca défoule vu que les journées sont relativement dénudées de toute distraction. Mais... MAIS.. demain, c'est Delirious qui sera en concert à Genève. Incroyable mais vrai, j'avais presque oublié. Mike a dû me le rappeller.

And it is officially over leaving but the remains of a whirlwind of emotions and encounters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;These last two days of "rest" will not have sufficed to be able to process everything. What a shame. Still, the pleasant restful weekend was a bonus! I guess it is all the more important to lay low this week and just take it one step at a time, one day at a time. I desire nothing more than the peace of God at this milestone transition time. My longing for doing this with God side-by-side has become rather essential considering a particular unrest in my soul yesterday. I permanently scratched the DVD that made me vomit and did away with a going away book on spiritual thoughts for each day of the year. Ever since these items have been out on my living room table, I have felt tangible darkness. Hey, I was even talking with a guy at the running club today about spiritual warfare. It was a full workout tonight so he kindly offered a tip to keep my heart temporarily out of the red. It involved pinching nerves, drawing energy to one point, holding your breath etc. Surely a great technique, but by default I told him I am very careful with the energy &amp; spiritual "thing". This in turn sparked up an interesting conversation. But... it will have to be for another time. After all, I am starting a new job tomorrow! (Just thought to write you a note so you can remember to pray and to get AB to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;"&gt;finally &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;update his blog too) ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-116233559101235463?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/116233559101235463/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=116233559101235463' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/116233559101235463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/116233559101235463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/10/nervous-newbie.html' title='nervous newbie'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-116155289438251588</id><published>2006-10-22T23:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-10-22T23:39:19.910+02:00</updated><title type='text'>puzzle pieces</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I guess I consider myself to be open to most music styles except maybe too much reggae (yawn), rap or metal. Give me some Steve Reich, Miles Davis to analyze. Let me rock my car out with Brittany Dillon or Darlene Zschech. So yes, translating a heavy metal concert was a first for me. Before the concert, one of the young organizers asked me whether I liked this music... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I responded with a frank: "no!" and laughed it off saying half-heartedly that it was the message that counted tonight, not necessarily the style of "music". The evening ended up being so powerful with a clear message and call to salvation brought to th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;e youth of Gex, humbling me and my preconceived ideas immediately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/heavyback.jpg" border="0" /&gt;I was on the stage as Kevin Young (vocals) of the group &lt;a href="http://disciplerocks.com/"&gt;Disciple &lt;/a&gt;started preaching to the crowd. They had come from Tenessee (sp.?) in the USA to speak to the lives of these French youths. It was awesome. It was clear-cut and genuine. It changed my outlook and was such an amazing thing to be a part of and able to serve there. Hey, and I even got a free CD ;). &lt;em&gt;God, change my stubborn heart&lt;/em&gt;! Here's a pic at the end of the night:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/disciple.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;A few hours later, I was off way past Lausanne with my special work colleague. We had a Saturday morning appointment at Lavey for a complete massage. Belated birthday present. Here is a pic just afterwards - greasy hair from the oils. This was a very new experience for me and the masseuse reminded me to attempt at least to stop talking and relax. :) &lt;em&gt;What? Me, talkative?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/tansclose.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Today, it was off to another work colleague's home. She was quite disappointed to hear me leave when she returns from her maternity leave. It would have no doubt been a great working relationship with her, but that was not meant to be. 5 more days and several leaving meals to go. I didn't take any pix of the afternoon but her house had a clear view of vineyards in front of the lake and a breathtaking view of the mountains. Just beautiful. I didn't have her mobile number or even her address - just the directions to get there. But this is Switzerland - her neighbors pointed her house out. I just had to chuckle. (I mean, my neighbors don't even know me in my own appartment block here in France).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;And the last pic I took was from my underground parking spot especially for someone, who doesn't think estate cars (station wagons) can be cool. You know who you are. ;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;[hmm, for some reason it won't upload, I'll just send it to you by email]&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anyway, sorry my post wasn't somehow more deep and meaningful this time.

Hatten ein gemeinsames Abendessen (FR) und eine Besprechung um uns zu entscheiden wo wir mit dem Verein überall nächstes Jahr laufen wollen. Artztermin heute Morgen in Vernier (CH) um 8h - das war Krass irgendwie. Ich musste so richtig lange laufen, weil ich nen Platz bei der Hausnummer 9 gefunden habe und bis zur Nr. 70 laufen musste. Die Fragen waren lustig und viel zu ausführlich, aber wahrscheinlich wichtig für meine neue Firma? Klar habe ich in meinem Leben mit Staub zu tun gehabt - sonst würde ich in einem Krankenhaus leben. Und das mit dem Hörtest war echt ungesund. Der Artzt lies irgendwas sehr laut in einem Ohr klingen und ich musste sagen was gleichzeitig gesagt wurde. Ich fand's lustig, dass die Schweizer es so machen. Sowas gibt's glaube ich nicht bei uns in Frankreich. Fand's vor allem gefährlich - aber die Schweizer müssen das wohl perfektioniert haben. Naja, der Arzt war eigentlich ganz nett, aber ich höre nichts mehr. Ne, scherz!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heute Abend dolmetsche ich bei einem Konzert: Lieder und Band Vorstellungen usw. nehme ich an. Das ist von der Gemeinde aus aber irgendwie habe ich bis zur letzten Minute vergessen zu fragen, was für eine Musik das ist. Heavymetal. Und das soll evangelistisch sein. Ok, ich bin schon offen für kreative Evangelisation aber das ist wirklich nicht mein Ding. Naja, als Trost, heute Mittag geht's zum Sushi-Mittagessen mit ArbeitskollegINNEN einfach in Ruhe. Das ist ein Abschiedsessen, weil ich die Firma Freitag in einer Woche verlasse. Ich werde die Leute hier und einige Kunden sogar vermissen. Aber ich bin so gespannt auf November. Und nicht nur weil ich gleich in die USA "muss".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aber vorerst muss ich alle Projekte richtig abschliessen hier - und THEORETISCH nichts Neues anfangen. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;PS: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Weiss nicht wieso ich keine Bilder uploaded konnte beim letzten Post.

It is out of this world. The box the tea bags could have much more advanced branding, but it was again a reminder of one of my intercultural marketing courses. The French equivalent tea box in my cupboard shouts out by creative design and exotic origin whereas the German "Kräuter Mischung" artwork lays out this conservative array of leaves (sketched!) you might have been able to pick yourself. It's hilarious - what sells in Germany traditionally has one of the following adjectives attached: healthy, natural, safe. What sells in France is traditionally: creative, adventurous or French. In fact my Kräuter Mischung lures me into words like wohltuend und aromatisch and my French tea marketer friends encourage me to add sugar for a better experience. And each message is carefully tailored to the target group, which has been socially tested and overtested with different results. Is it just me, or is this fascinating?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Moving swiftly along from tea branding, the time in Germany was very special. It was just right. In fact, it has been so special to take the time out to have vital heart to heart conversations, which are not always easy over the phone. And I must say, this has taken precedance over my inbox at the moment. In fact, the whole past week has been a significant time of clarity and honesty in relationships and it has been so very liberating to me. To crown the intensity of human dialogue, I was able to at last enjoy s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;uch a precious chat with Leens this evening.

Samstag war ich u.A. mit meinen Eltern das schöne Grundstück anschauen, wo sie vielleicht ein Haus bauen können. (Bin hinterher gefahren-klar, mit dem gleichen Auto, gell!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="224" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/road%20sign.0.jpg" width="307" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="239" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/twin%20sisters.0.jpg" width="313" border="0" /&gt;Und jetzt wo wir schon dabei sind, eine kurze Pause für Werbung findet ihr &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXV9aYoI0A8&amp;mode=related&amp;amp;search="&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt;(thanks Rach!) - Möchte nicht materialistisch sein aber Rhonda ist schon schön - bin so gesegnet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Ja - Das Grundstück liegt nur einige Minuten von der Stadt, wo sie eine Arbeit anfangen. Das wäre hier oben das Nachbarhaus. Vielleicht, denn wir sind gerade am überlegen wie wir bzw. ich es finanizeren kann. Mal schauen was die Bank diese Woche sagt. &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/expectant.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Hoffentlich geht das mit meiner neuen Stelle. Klar - sie wollen ein deutsches Haus darauf und sie waren beide schon einige Tage in Stuttgart bei dieser Siedlung, wo um die 60 Häuser gibt als Beispiele zum anschauen.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Naja und sonst am Samstag war die Hauptversammlung des Athletik-Vereins. Ging bis in die Puppen und war so typisch gut organisiert, nicht? Heute mittag dann erfahren, dass es von 17h gestern bis heute morgen um 8h ging. Irgendwie wird die langwierige Versammlung mit dem Abendessen, einer Preisverleihung, einer Schönheitskönigin-Defilee (!?!), einem Kleiderverkauf und einer Party kombiniert. Nur in Frankreich! Ich musste bis zum Kleiderverkauf bleiben, denn alle Läufer müssen mit dem Logo des Vereins laufen. Da ich eh alles für den Fotografen anprobiert hatte, wusste ich, dass 90% mir nicht gut steht. Irgendwann zeige ich euch vielleicht die Bilder. Und ich habe also eine kurze Hose und ein Tee-shirt kaufen müssen (das Mindeste). Bikinilauf ist einfach nicht mein Ding!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Heute, Sonntag ging's dann in die Gemeinde und danach Zeit mit meinen Freunden verbracht. Waren essen und dann bin ich mit ihnen bei perfektem Wetter spazieren gegangen - in Cruseilles und dann oberhalb von Annecy. Alex verlässt uns bald die kommende Woche. Leipzig ruft!

My life was Andrea's for a long time - in fact the resemblance was really quite scary. I am free from many of the things that held me captive then, yet still desire to be freed of remaining habits, relationships and situations that have a stronghold over me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Went for a little joy ride with Rhonda under this splendid full moon. Fuuu-hun. Just enough time to reflect on several points raised by the dear people I hung out with tonight. And I will admit, I am still in that reflective mode now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I am not lost in a trite daydream. It is much more a sobering realization that freedon and love are found in Jesus alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;During this countdown of these last few minutes of Friday, I struggle to surrender my body to the rest it apparently requires. This is one of those fresh October nights with a light breeze that makes me want to reflect on how wide, how long, how high and how deep God's love really is for us (Ephesians 3:18). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Almost reminds me of the excitement I would get when my dad would say to his little girl: "I love you from here &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; the way to my back." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;How much more (sorry dad!) is God's love for his children? It's infinitely wide, long, high, deep - and ultimately unfathomable. Wow - think of long love. What does this mean? Boggles this mind a bit and makes me want to sing praises back to Him and pick up my flute. (Can't believe I am letting the world into my sphere of intimacy here) Unfortunately my neighbors need a break as they always comment on the fact they hear me singing when I am at home. hahaha! So instead of bringing out my flute, I have an awesome track from Passion's &lt;em&gt;Everything Glorious&lt;/em&gt; album playing exceptionally quietly at this moment. Imagine a group of men crying out: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;How marvellous, how wonderful is my Savior's love for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Is this not awesome? Only in the Body of Christ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Sleep well and happy weekend my fellow Europeans!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-116017461942374555?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/116017461942374555/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=116017461942374555' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/116017461942374555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/116017461942374555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/10/long-love.html' title='long love?'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-116008600945794344</id><published>2006-10-05T23:56:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-10-06T00:12:43.946+02:00</updated><title type='text'>erzählen und ermutigen</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Geskype-t mit Singapur, USA, Mali, NZ, Deutschland, CH. Das alles in einem Tag! Stundenlang vor meinem Arbeitstag. Auch nach meinem Arbeitstag. Und ja, teilweise auch zwischendrin. Daher erscheine ich mittlerweile tagsüber oft "offline" oder "busy". Ich muss Mal einfach heran und bis zum Schluss (Ende Okt.) konsequent arbeiten. Ist aber schon schön Kontakte vom YLG mitzunehmen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;War heute Abend wieder in diesem bekannten Café mit den Jungs. Alex verlässt uns demnächst *supermegatraurig*- daher wird es dringend notwendig, dass wir die Zeit sinnvoll ausnutzen. Sie wollten natürlich alles über Malaysien (rechtschr.?) wissen. Ich fand's cool, weil ich gern erzähle was Gott tut. Und sie hören auch gern zu. Schlussendlich haben sie für die Zeit gebetet. Ich stelle mir gern vor, 550 junge Leiter, die ihren Gemeinden in allen Ecken der Welt erzählen was passierte und ev. junge Christen dadurch gewaltig für Evangelisation mobilisieren. In meinem Regionalgebetskreis war ich mit zwei deutschen zusammen. Und genau das war unser Gebet - die YLG sollte nicht nur eine weitere Veranstaltung sein, sondern etwas zum weitergeben in unseren Kreisen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Da Alex Afrika total liebt, habe ich einige Sekunden von der afrikanischen Musik aufgenommen und sie ihm heute Abend gezeigt. Vielleicht gehen wir am Sonntag zu Mike, YLG DVDs (über kontextualisierte Mission, den internationalen Gebetstag usw.) anzuschauen. Einfach als Ermutigung. Denn wir wurden dort alle ziemlich ermutigt. Doch, und das möchte ich weitergeben. Vor allem hier, wo die Gemeinde oft ausgetrocknet und ausgerostet ist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-116008600945794344?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/116008600945794344/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=116008600945794344' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/116008600945794344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/116008600945794344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/10/erzhlen-und-ermutigen.html' title='erzählen und ermutigen'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115998916107712237</id><published>2006-10-04T21:07:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-10-04T21:31:35.996+02:00</updated><title type='text'>courier de côte d'ivoire</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wow - là, j'avoue, je suis complètement touchée..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Chère Euphonies,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;C'est un merveilleux moment que nous avons passé&lt;br /&gt;ensemble en Malaisie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Que Dieu, le Père de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ&lt;br /&gt;te bénisse abondamment pour ta contribution significative à YLG 06!

My colleague is off for a week, so hardly a chance to daydream. I see they don't want me to be bored in my last month. The special YLG06 experience is still lingering and I want to enjoy it but can't. I knew it. So much to do. Client meeting, new brief, timings, cost estimates, creative brief, old project review - standstill since me leaving to Malaysia. Oh joy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I feel the hundreds of kilometers I walked with Leens in Spain in June in pursuit of God needed to be followed up with more quiet time with Him. My soul is adamant to scour for such a time now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I wont let work steal my joy though. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I don't want to be here, but I must. And me being here makes YLG06 so important, right? The shared experiences, the support, the listening ears - the personal email - these should all be a great propellor so why do I feel I'm landing in turbulence? But wait, I &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; dwell in the past - in last week. But I &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; choose to enjoy the now - the communication whilst it lasts. Perhaps my new friends will get tired of me? Either of that or of time change, who knows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In anycase, I got a call from Mathieu from Congo-Zaire this evening. He just arrived home this afternoon after a long voyage. He wanted to hear me and check if my number worked. So sweet. His family must have tried desperately to get in contact with him as I have just noticed six missed calls from +243. I forgot my mobile at home today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;What a different world I live in here. Surrounded by wealth and futility. I sms mom and dad to pick me up from the airport, speed up the mountain, zip to work in Rhonda my dear Honda, eat lunch till my belly is filled, work without my body hurting and come home to surf the net or call a friend. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Guys&lt;/em&gt;, the injustice is blatant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;In fact, I was able to speak to Elke Werner about my invitation to serve in a much poorer place. I think I could do it. But is it right for me now? And she was such a dear in her response. She heard me out. She heard my heart and passion for the nation and the team on the ground and yet sees that I am still young enough to be attractive by the marketplace here. She helped me greatly to go through many issues and I learnt something. I realize this world here is crippled too. Just with other things. Imagine being crippled with wealth. Not good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;YLG was tiring with all the translation canker sores yet "uber"energizing with the conversations, the meetings, the faith of many and the continued contact of a select few. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I desire for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the YLG to become a new empirical basis for my now - for the teachings to trickle into my soul and transform my stubborn mind and feet instead of merely looking back with fond memories.

Es w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ar so cool eine Wohnung mit Roland und Elke Werner zu teilen - ihnen muss ich noch ein kurzes Dankeschön sagen für ihre Zeit.

Voilà l'image depuis le petit avion autrichien qui survolait Genève ce matin. Heureusement que le vol entre Kuala Lumpur et Vienne était assuré par un engin un peu plus costaud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Il y a trop de choses à raconter. J'ai un peu abandonné l'idée du Net à KL car la connection n'était pas super fiable. En plus il y avait beaucoup de choses à faire sur place. On a eu des meetings avec les orateurs avant les sessions, des ateliers à traduire en consécutif, des formulaires et fiches à traduire et bien plus. Les moments des rencontres étaient merveilleuses et tendres et il aurait été dommage de courir sur le net pour devoir en parler au monde. D'ailleurs le temps de réflection après un tel évènement est primordial avant de tirer une conclusion globale. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Je pense que je dois dans un premier temps mettre un peu d'ordre dans mes pensées pour comprendre ce qu'est cet "esprit de Lausanne" pour moi et comment accepter la convention signée en 1974. Pour comprendre comment ce temps fort peut m'accompagner dans mon voyage de foi et d'ouverture au monde. Je vous assure, c'était bien plus fort qu'une simple semaine passée dans un endroit sympa et reposant (bien que très humide).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/pool.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/pool.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;J'ai pu profiter de ces moments intenses et les francophones étaient tellement reconnaissants que malgré ma fatigue physique, cela en valait vraiment le coup d'aider. Un des participants congolais m'a annoncé que sa femme avait acouchée pendant la semaine et qu'ils avaient voulu appeller leur fille par mon prénom. Un autre participant avait marché pendant cinq jours depuis des montagnes en Afrique avant de trouver du transport public qui l'ammenerait à l'aéroport le plus proche. On a entendu le cri de souffrance de tellement de participants et franchement, cela change la façon dont on voit nos défis dans l'occident.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/ylg%20smaller.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/ylg%20smaller.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;J'ai aussi rencontré cette merveilleuse jeune femme bulgare qui m'a marquée par sa simplicité et humilité de coeur. Elle était toujours là pour encourager les traducteurs, pour les aider et pour apporter un sourire. Toujours optimiste et présente, elle a été une sainte pendant ce rassemblement de jeunes leaders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/euph%20gabs.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/euph%20gabs.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Bon, j'ai pas dormi depuis le barbeque de raies et de calamares d'hier soir avec le lait de noix de coco. Le vol depuis KL était bondé d'écoliers australiens et puis quatre participants du rassemblement ont pris mon vol avant de se rendre à Zagreb et Sarajevo. Les discussions étaient riches, le sommeil était ... moins important! Mais maintenant, faut essayer de reposer ce cerveau très stimulé. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115972210297679653?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115972210297679653/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115972210297679653' title='4 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115972210297679653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115972210297679653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/10/de-retour-dj.html' title='de retour déjà!'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115950018613819611</id><published>2006-09-29T05:16:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-10-01T15:38:28.240+02:00</updated><title type='text'>those initial thoughts</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Though fried onions is not my personal breakfast favorite, I know some people here at the Young Leaders Gathering 06 have thrown themselves at those onions for the extra breakfast kick they are used to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One morning I observed what people were putting on their breakfast plates and who felt right at home with the mucus-textured-cinnamon-blob delicately folded into a banana leaf. Some went for the adventure, some filmed the cultural experience and others stood well away lest their stomachs betray them. Others partook in a classy manner as to say “what’s the big deal, we all eat this at home, don’t we?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here at the YLG, we are so different and have such a wide array of backgrounds and experiences. Yet I stand amazed seeing delegates of 110 nations come together and engage with one another adding their own nation’s particularity and culture. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/boys.jpg" border="0" /&gt;A German woman devoted to Chile. A Brazilian man working with transvestites. An Egyptian pastor devoted to his local church. An American man working with drug addicts. A Finnish woman running for local elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I expected I’d be attending a missions-oriented conference with cross-cultural jargon and jokes flying high in the skies. Instead, many here have never travelled outside their country. Truly a unique gathering of national delegates committed to seeing the whole Church bring the whole Gospel to the whole World – often times starting with local work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you could wonder what points such a large group could agree upon and what they really want to discuss. And then you hear pertinent questions from alert young leaders – But what is this Lausanne movement? And how does it affect me? How will it support my work at home? And why isn’t the younger generation of women speaking more up front? How do we connect? Aren’t there enough networks as it is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And these valid thoughts are mirrored by choice speakers. Most have already taken up the call for their generation. They challenge us to face the crises of our time. The challenge to lay aside our earthly ambition. The challenge to become servant leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So although I sorely miss my buttery breakfast croissant, this has been a remarkable time allowing me to be informed, inspired, developed and connected. What a rich place to leverage learnings from all over the world and apply them to my world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/francophones.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115950018613819611?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115950018613819611/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115950018613819611' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115950018613819611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115950018613819611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/09/those-initial-thoughts.html' title='those initial thoughts'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115881529671014728</id><published>2006-09-21T06:59:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-09-21T07:08:16.783+02:00</updated><title type='text'>flying with freddy</title><content type='html'>Great marketing trip this flybaboo. There are a few mac stations at the airport satellite but you can only get in with a passwort - I suppose that is given to you with your ticket. See I wouldnt know since I am not flying flybaboo. This works only in theory since I saw someone forgot to log off here. *sneaky* So I am off to KL this morning with a suitcase and my Santiago backpack. With the shell Leens! I am so excited, it takes away all the draw backs of this queezy early morning stomach. See you soon and happy September if I can't find a way to log on at a later stage, which I highly doubt. On verra - I have Freddy the Fujitsu with me. Rumor has it, he might be with me longer than my current job. That's called sneaky negotiation in a skirt and puppy eyes. Faut savoir utiliser ses atouts quand meme! Allez, I'm off to Vienna - first stop. ;) (Thanks for the airport run dad - I love youuuuu...)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115881529671014728?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115881529671014728/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115881529671014728' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115881529671014728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115881529671014728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/09/flying-with-freddy.html' title='flying with freddy'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115874457172515022</id><published>2006-09-20T11:22:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-09-20T13:07:33.300+02:00</updated><title type='text'>merry monday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/da%20boys.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/400/da%20boys.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/jo%20euph.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/400/jo%20euph.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Pub quizz night in town on Monday &lt;/span&gt;and there was even another girl for once! ;) Jo who studied with me in Mulhouse down for the day/evening.

L'argent ne pousse pas sur les arbres - surtout avec le pret immo, le remboursement (finie!) de Rhonda la Honda et ces voyages.

Leider bist DU nicht auf den Bildern darauf. :(&lt;/em&gt; Ich poste das Bild vom Klo lieber nicht - hehehe. Stimmt, das war am Wochenende wo Essayas von meiner ehem.

Fuer mich war viel daran - kuendigen oder nicht, welches Angebot annehmen, wohin, an was glauben, welche Prioritaeten setzen? Nun ist das erstmal fuer mich erledigt - ich habe gekuendigt, ein superinteressantes Angebot angenommen. Ich weiss ungefaehr an was ich glaube und ich setze langsam die Prioritaeten wieder in meinem Leben. Was will man eigentlich mehr?..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/boat.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/400/boat.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.. Motivation auf der Arbeit. Oje. Erinnere mich daran, wenn ich meine eigene Firma mal habe, dass 2 Monate Kuendigungsfrist keinen Sinn macht. Uneffektiv fuer die Firma, und lang fuer den Mitarbeiter sowie ihre Kollegen. Und ich habe es noch gut. Ich habe ein Paar Tage Urlaub uebrig (unglaublich aber wahr) und nehme sie mir fuer Kuala Lumpur - gleich Ende naechster Woche. ;) Ich freue mich so sehr darauf und wuerde so gern jetzt schon dort sein. Es wird eine ganz besondere Zeit mit ganz besonderen jungen Menschen, welche die Welt bewegen wollen. Und ich darf dabei sein. Waaahnsinn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wenn ich wirklich ueberlege was das heisst, fuehle ich mich ganz ehrlich voellig inkompetent als einzige ENG/FR Dolmetscherin dort zu sein. Was ist wenn ich ein Wort vergesse, ein Scherz nicht gescheit uebersetzen kann oder die Redner nicht verstehe? Und was ist wenn die Menschen einfach mehr darauf haben und ich nicht mitreden kann? Und was ist wenn ich in der Woche krank werde?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Und dann muss ich mir einfach STOPP sagen. Denn der Herr lenkt und leitet. Wenn ich ueberhaupt gewaehlt wurde, ist das weil er mich verwenden kann.

Faut pas s'y habituer au cas où car nul ne sait si il y aura accès à internet à Kuala Lumpur la semaine prochaine. Aujourd'hui dans une semaine, je serai dans l'avion - c'est fou comment le temps passe. Ca y est, on commence à s'envoyer des mails entre traducteurs et à nous y préparer physiquement, mentalement et spirituellement. Je me réjouis d'y être et de rencontrer des gens, et espérons, d'aider la communication des francophones. Objectif d'ici la semaine prochaine: traduire des discours et prédications une fois par jour en simultané - chez moi, dans Rhonda la Honda etc. J'ai trouvé l'hôtel au bord de la plage, mais je vois que les consignes de sécurité nous empêchent de poster l'endroit exact sur nos blogs..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour la peine et pour le fun, voici une photo prise à notre fête de société. Ma dernière "fête de famille" vu ma démission. J'ai toujours de la peine à y croire - j'ai démissioné! Puis pour les vrais curieux, il y a quelques &lt;a href="http://www.asj74.org/actu.php?idactu=1789"&gt;photos&lt;/a&gt; et &lt;a href="http://www.asj74.org/actu.php?idactu=1795"&gt;films&lt;/a&gt; de la préparation et du maquillage du casting à Lyon dimanche dernier. Les photos studio arrivent dans quelques mois - avec des tenues athlé, certaines un peu compromettantes à mon goût. Arg, euph' en bikini d'Athlé, ça ne se vera pas tous les jours. hahaha.. tout cela pour le catalogue de la nouvelle saison. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115822125735868738?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115822125735868738/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115822125735868738' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115822125735868738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115822125735868738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/09/confrence-et-casting_14.html' title='conférence et casting'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115815039209144182</id><published>2006-09-13T14:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-09-13T22:56:49.373+02:00</updated><title type='text'>calm after changes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;What a pleasant week. It is sort of like sunshine after the storm or maybe it is the eye of the storm? I am back from Italy (last week) for work and off to Malaysia (next week) and though it sounds like a lot of travels, things are calming down. No kidding! It was a little nerve-wracking to juggle with multiple job offers and still invest 100% into my current work. You can't play both parts all that long. Last Monday, I just went for it - I responded to the offer and faxed the contract back to my new employer and resigned within 2 hours. It was a no-brainer: multinational, growth opportunities, multilingual, travel, ok salary. It has been a tremendous learning experience here on several levels but hey, I am ready for a new challenge and for such an awesome opportunity starting November 1! Before beginning, I need to block out my excitement to start elsewhere and concentrate on handing over. Yikes - I'm gonna miss so many people here. Next week, I'll be able to take at least &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; distance (10 days worth) in Kuala Lumpur whilst translating at the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lausanne-ops.org/event/info.php?site=4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Young Leaders' Gathering 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; - yeay tickets came through! It's final! What a privilege. &lt;em&gt;Thanks for thinking of me Andy! &lt;/em&gt;Wow, so much happening I almost forget I have a blog. Thanks for reminding me to update you ;) - I have been sooo bad. Forgive me? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Heat and good music with windows rolled down, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;euph'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115815039209144182?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115815039209144182/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115815039209144182' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115815039209144182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115815039209144182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/09/calm-after-changes.html' title='calm after changes'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115584919084962460</id><published>2006-08-17T23:13:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-08-17T23:18:18.673+02:00</updated><title type='text'>genf lässt grüssen!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Vlog auf deutsch)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://youtube.com/v/qEwh6b-9XZw" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"genf lässt grüssen!" ist eine kurze Vorstellung für die neue deutsche Vlog Gemeindschaft auf Youtube (nach dem Motto - "Du bist YouTube").

Résultat des courses - j'adore! Je découvre un monde finalement très nature, très vrai et puis des artistes en herbe géniaux. Quand t'es face à une caméra, tu te vulnérabilise bien plus que dans un blog car tu montres ton visage. Les chanteurs, cinéastes et vloggers débutants se laissent critiquer ou applaudir, amusent les autres ou eux mêmes, marquent ou critiquent leur temps. En somme, un monde similaire à la communauté des bloggeurs mais avec ce voile mytérieux ôté. Ca me plaît bien. Mes posts s'estompent ici quelque peu mais je n'abandonne pas encore - du moins pas officiellement. Car il y a encore bien des choses à raconter, à documenter dans cette vie! J'aimerais plutôt combiner les deux - le blog et le vlog. Ca, c'est si j'ai du temps. Car faut pas devenir accro non plus. Si t'es comme moi, t'es déjà devant un écran de PC plus de la moitié de ta vie. Faut donc pas exagérer. Mais se divertir. Et de là est partie la réponse à un vloggeur géant de chez Youtube. Il s'appelle AericWinter et j'ai posté une réponse à une de ses contributions mais sous forme de Vlog (de vidéo réponse). Tu peux le regarder, mais attention, t'es prévenu, celui-là, il est en allemand :). Voilà pour l'explication de mon absence. Autrement, je m'entraîne au club avec mon vélo maintenant. Il y a ce fameux relais d'Annecy de 45km avec 1 vélo pour deux coureurs. Mardi, on s'entraînait à se passer le vélo en courant - pas évident. Vu que début Septembre s'annonce coriace pour ma part, je prends l'entraînement au sérieux puis on verra si j'arrive réellement à m'inscrire dans une équipe du club. Pars en Italie la semaine d'avant pour le boulot, puis le photo-shoot pour les nouvelles tenues d'athlé dans lequel je dois participer a lieu le même moment que le relais. Donc à voir. Mais génial de faire de la course un sport un peu plus "équipe". Ca me motive à m'entrâiner! Et à manger des patates biensûr. ;) Allez, bonne soirée. ;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115584842361181299?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115584842361181299/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115584842361181299' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115584842361181299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115584842361181299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/08/virement-au-vlog.html' title='virement au vlog?'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115483061608019263</id><published>2006-08-05T23:59:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-08-06T04:34:00.343+02:00</updated><title type='text'>hair and other highlights</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://youtube.com/v/nCg50kjXrog" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Thought you might like some highlights of an afternoon at Geneva's yearly festival: the Fêtes de Genève.

Obwohl es in dieser Übergangsphase (Leens, Arbeit, neue Projekte) etwas schwierig ist, muss ich mit meiner Entscheidung in eine französischsprechende Gemeinde zu gehen, konsequent bleiben. Nun ist es so, dass ich jede Woche am Samstag Abend überlege wo ich hingehen soll. Nicht schön, wenn ich tendenziell gleich überall einsteigen möchte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Aber hoffentlich wird Gott mir zeigen wo ich hier am Besten lernen und auch geben kann. &lt;em&gt;Geduld Euph, GEDULD!&lt;/em&gt; Ein Wort zu Crossroads vielleicht: Ich wurde dort jede Woche durch Gemeinschaft erneut gesegnet und durch Wort wohl genährt. Die neue Arbeitssituation als ich neu hier angefangen hatte, war wie überwältigend. Gerade dann habe ich die Sicherheit von Crossroads gebraucht. Nach 1.5J Überlegung, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;wird es langsam Zeit,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;dass dieses Missionarkind wieder ins Wasser der Wüste hineinspringt. Naja, das alles um zu sagen, dass ich mit meinem Dad (Mom war krank) eine neue Gemeinde entdeckt habe heute Morgen. Die &lt;a href="http://rivedroite.egliselibre.ch/"&gt;Paroisse Rive-Droite&lt;/a&gt; war eine interessante Gemeinde mitten in der Stadt. Also diesmal nicht in Frankreich selbst. Am Ende wurde eine schweizer Hymne über Vaterland und was weiss ich gesungen!?! War mir etwas fremd. Aber damit kann ich leben wenn der Herr den Weg in Gebet zeigt. Ich meine, Alphakurse (Sie werden in der CH Alphalive genannt) werden angeboten und es gibt sogar ein Paar junge Leute - boey-hey! Mein Vater, frisch von seiner letzten Kongoreise hat sich wahscheinlich gewünscht, dass die Begeisterung fürs Evangelium etwas stärker rüberkommt. Aber vielleicht war das auch nur Genfer Urlaubsstimmung. Schwierig ist es eben, alles richtig in einem Besuch einzuschätzen. Und deswegen war er schon zum zweiten Mal dort. Denn meine Eltern suchen nen Zufluchtsort auch (nicht unbedingt die gleiche Gemeinde wie ich) und werden dann nebenbei mit der Volksgruppe in der Gegend arbeiten. Naja, genau wie mit den anderen Entscheidungen, die ich gerade treffen darf, möchte ich, dass ich Ihm raum gebe zu sprechen. Das ist mein Gebet für mich - und für dich auch Heute! Geduuuuld!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115428560229756849?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115428560229756849/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115428560229756849' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115428560229756849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115428560229756849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/genfer-gemeinde.html' title='genfer gemeinde'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115418379478769825</id><published>2006-07-29T16:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-29T16:36:34.816+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/LqzsgYByGjo"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://youtube.com/v/LqzsgYByGjo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115418379478769825?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115418379478769825/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115418379478769825' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115418379478769825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115418379478769825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/blog-post_29.html' title=''/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115406531038507218</id><published>2006-07-28T07:02:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-29T16:39:41.840+02:00</updated><title type='text'>leaving leens</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;She left on that 6:30 a.m. flight and boy does it hurt. I want to support Leens as much as I can in her move, and I knew that dragging her down with the way I really feel, is less than helpful at this difficult time. This brave facade only lasted until I actually saw the orange&amp;amp;grey bird take off overhead. I burst into tears from the pain of physical loss of my special friend. Secretly dreading our 4:30 wake up call, I had wanted last night to last and last and last. We hung out with a pizza, an Italian [medium] red and more things to say than time allowed for and then eventually hit the sack with the balcony lighting show. Bear with me this morning, I am a bit on the edge. Yet there was that special reminder of God's faithfulness to us both - a blazing sun rise. Surely a God faithful enough to call the sun to rise each day, will be strong enough to hold us both in the palm of His loving hands and big enough to fill this painful void. &lt;em&gt;Leens, you will never know what impact you have on my life. This is a time of new beginnings, a bright new adventure - but believe me when I say I miss you deeply and can't wait for our trip to Nepal! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115406531038507218?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115406531038507218/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115406531038507218' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115406531038507218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115406531038507218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/leaving-leens.html' title='leaving leens'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115377803526293395</id><published>2006-07-24T23:53:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-25T00:14:29.026+02:00</updated><title type='text'>for fun</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;what a cheek!

so gut. Möchte nicht zu nostalgisch werden, aber ich durfte in den letzten Tagen ein Paar tolle Leute wie Tracy, Chrysante und sogar Jeremy von Frankfurt sehen. Mit den zwei Mädels, war es gut an verschiedenen Abenden über Gott und die Welt zu plaudern. Mit Jeremy und seinem und meinem Freund waren wir am See schwimmen / beachball spielen. Da Leens mich diese kommende Woche verlässt, habe ich am Wochenende über Freundschaften nachgedacht. Ist es nicht schön, Freunde zu haben? Gerade jetzt wo Leens geht, weiss ich unsere Freundschaft zu schätzen: Unterstützung, Verständnis, Lebensbeleitung, Vertrauen. Was für eine besondere Beziehung. Hmpf, mit wem werde ich denn sonst so spontan am See rumhängen, schwimmen und quatschen? &lt;em&gt;Ich glaube ich brauche mehr Freundinnen, Herr!&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/chocolat.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115369021052942629?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115369021052942629/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115369021052942629' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115369021052942629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115369021052942629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/feine-freundschaft.html' title='feine freundschaft'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115325489108418504</id><published>2006-07-18T22:33:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T22:34:51.453+02:00</updated><title type='text'>spectacle des sens</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tout comme la coupe du monde incite les jeunes à faire du foot, aller à un concert me donne envie de jouer plus de flûte traversière. Que du bonheur. Mais je la pose là, juste le temps d'écrire un coup. Mais pas longtemps. Juste le temps d'attendre la fin du cycle de lavage. Après, faut essayer de dormir.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Demain on se lève tôt, donc fallait se crever prématurement ce soir. Courir en pleine chaleur, c'est sûr que ça fatigue le corps - du moins, c'est la première chose à laquelle j'ai pensé. Ceci dit, les vastes paysages genevois baignés dans un tel soleil, c'est un spectacle qui contribue au contraire à éveiller tous les sens. J'ai secrètement poussé quelques cris de joie à la vue des champs de grands tournesols avec plus loin la silhouette d'une chaîne de montagnes. Bon, tu vas me dire, les cris, c'est plus tellement secret vu que j'en parle maintenant, mais en tous cas sur le moment, il n'y avait que moi, la nature et Igor mon ipod. Fin, c'est ce que je croyais quand je chantais de tout coeur - tellement mon coeur se réjouissait dans la présence d'un Dieu si majestueux et parfait. Puis soudain, bruit de freins - des vélos voulaient manifestement passer. Aucune idée combien de temps ils avaient pu écouter. Peu importe - finalement, j'ai rien à cacher. Donc maintenant, comme eux, tu connais mon secret - je chante en courant! hihihi &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115325489108418504?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115325489108418504/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115325489108418504' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115325489108418504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115325489108418504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/spectacle-des-sens.html' title='spectacle des sens'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115317659338088766</id><published>2006-07-17T11:59:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T16:16:17.493+02:00</updated><title type='text'>lake life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We rallied up about six people to come with Jo and myself to the beach after church. Leens knew of one of the quieter beaches to hang out in. It was great fun and sort of strange to just sit and relax. Though it hurt to be with Leens and be reminded of the void she will soon leave, the afternoon will be safely kept in my mental SD card - so glad she was there. The inflatable ball was apparently more acceptable than an innocent game of Twister - though I never thought I could pull a neck muscle playing ball in the lake. This morning I woke up stiffer than robocop and went straight to the docs - what a chicken! I guess I couldn't have the "neckbrace look" at tonight's concert sponsored by one of my suppliers. By the time Mike and I made it to the semi-outdoor Czech classical concert, the anti-inflammatories must have started to set in. I think Mike would agree the concert was nice, especially with the sun setting on the lake during the interval and some posh men forcing you to endulge in bubby and poor little black fish eggs. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115317659338088766?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115317659338088766/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115317659338088766' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115317659338088766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115317659338088766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/lake-life.html' title='lake life'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115299624681957915</id><published>2006-07-15T22:07:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-15T23:24:34.836+02:00</updated><title type='text'>wieder wandern</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/flaine.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/flaine.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;War zum ersten Mal seit dem Camino wieder wandern. Keine Zeit bisher gehabt, aber ich will nicht vergessen wie gut es damals getan hat zu laufen und die Stille der Natur zu geniessen. Jo (etwas klein auf dem Bild hier) ist fuer ein Paar Tage im Lande - Grund genug, 5 Stunden in unseren Alpen zu diskutieren und herumzulaufen. Der hat echt einiges darauf und traeumt auch gross - finde ich erfrischend. Ja, wieso nicht vor 30 CEO werden? Ansonsten waren die Aussichten wie sonst immer - unglaublich majestaetisch. Wie gross ist unser Gott! Einige Bilder findest du &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26312974@N00/"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt;. Morgen Nachmittag gehen wir vielleicht zum See.

C'est tout de même dingue à quel point une si grande partie de la population peut être impliquée dans un sport comme le foot. Je ne suis peut-être pas du genre à sauter d'un pont à cause d'un pari. Mais j'ai quand même parié une fois 6 francs suisses sur un des scores. J'ai gagné une cagnotte divisée par tous les gangants. Woohoo, que vais-je faire de mes 26-6 = 20 CHF? :) Je ne suis pas assez bête pour parier sur une finale. Qui aurait pu imaginer une si triste fin pour nos Bleus? En même temps, le foot ce n'est pas tout. Heureusement que la vie continue après. C'est sympa d'avoir tout d'un coup ses soirées remplies d'autres choses. Et quand même rassurant de savoir que la fierté nationale existe encore. &lt;em&gt;Que Dieu te bénisse, ma belle France, en ce jour national.

The Swiss "quiet after 10pm" rule wouldn't work here - let alone after a semi-final victory for the French. Indeed, it was another gripping game tonight, though I enjoyed Saturday's almost better (see pic). Tonight, I ran around a bit with the flag and soaked in the rare French flag patriotism before coming home. It does our multiethnic country a lot of good to identify to the same country. I was excited about a German-French final, but doesn't look like that will happen. Despite faithfully supporting and chanting with 100-150 Germans in a small sticky room last night, the Italians stole the show. On another note, tomorrow sounds like a long day, with a trip to Paris and back, the time to inspect some health issues out. Shame I couldn't have my appointment on Friday. With World Cup fever at its hottest, Sunday's finals on the Champs would have been fun. Having said that, I might just enjoy a weekend of quiet - for a change! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115213810291459475?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115213810291459475/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115213810291459475' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115213810291459475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115213810291459475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/07/good-game.html' title='good game'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115191631731776845</id><published>2006-07-03T08:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-03T10:46:39.470+02:00</updated><title type='text'>fan fest frankfurt</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/bleusbigscreen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 244px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px" height="189" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/bleusbigscreen.jpg" width="253" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Die Stimmung in Frankfurt war toll, Frankreich hat gewonnen, wir hatten erstklassige Plätze am Main und uns alle trotz Menge gefunden. Was will man mehr? Den Augenblick mit besonderen Freunden festhalten! Kurz vor drei und nach ner etwas längeren Fahrt (mit Umwegen doch insgesamt 18h im Auto) waren wir Mädels erst im Bett - aber jung und stark sind wir, oder?

Quel match étonnant où deux des trois buts semblaient presque rentrer "par hasard". On ne va pas chipoter, mais tout ce tralala médiatique qui dit que ça allait de soi, que nous étions de &lt;em&gt;toutes&lt;/em&gt; façons les meilleurs, c'est quand même très drôle. Ne disait-on pas encore hier après-midi que cette pauvre équipe était vieille? Peu importe, on a gagné - et cela n'allait pas de soi. Encore plus délicat: le match contre le Brésil samedi. Comme il faudrait quand même que quelqu'un soutienne Zizou, notre vieillard de 34 ans, j'irai avec deux amis à Francfort, où ils joueront samedi à 21h. Décision spontanée comme d'hab', parce qu'on a beaucoup de choses à se raconter et que la route est assez longue pour en parler. J'espère voir "fiston" (du DESS) au MainArena, où l'on projete le match sur un écran géant sur le Main.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115152679261556118?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115152679261556118/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115152679261556118' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115152679261556118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115152679261556118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/06/trouver-les-tricolores.html' title='trouver les tricolores'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115144501950722297</id><published>2006-06-27T23:34:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-27T23:50:19.606+02:00</updated><title type='text'>back in blue</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, I tore off my German gear, lent my huge flag to one under patriotic German gal at work, and went to La Praille stadium to watch France / Spain. Best big screens seem to be Plainpalais and La Praille, but seeing the electrical storm, we went for the semi-sheltered stadium. I had already been running with the club in the heat, but hardly could miss a chance to watch Les Bleus and honk the horn a bit. Tired? Me? Geneva is vibrantly international at this time, so I called up my Italian friend Robby, who was still at work. Of course he was up to it. Where there is a party, the Italians are definitely game. He went: "but wait a minute, who are you for anyway?" (duh!) As France stole 3 goals, the electricity rose and the party began. And I can still hear the well-known rhyming celebrations outside: "Allez les bleus", "On a gagné!" You'd think they themselves had played. Ok, let's admit, I was the first one out there going nuts. And technically, I'm not even French! Ahhh, so NOW we peer into the heart of Euph'... :) Dear God, please don't let FR play DE - who then will I support? :) This has been lots of fun this World Cup - especially in such a multi-ethnic community.

Mein Onkel findet zum Beispiel Jeans und Turnschuhe vom schlechtesten Geschmack. Ich nicht. Und genauso subjektiv waren gestern die Verkleidungen. Da die Party in England stattfand als England spielte, hatte ich ein deutsches Fussball-Teeshirt an - ach ja und die passende Fahne natürlich dazu (nochmal turbodanke, cm ;)). Einerseits war alles erlaubt, andererseits, gab's zu diesem interessanten Spiel anscheinend Regeln. Ich hörte einige Kommentare zu meinem harmlosem Kostüm: ,,willst du heute sterben oder wie?", ,,darf ich deine Fahne ausleihen..und verbrennen?", ,,ähh, jieah, das ist &lt;em&gt;wirklich&lt;/em&gt; geschmacklos!" Aber war das nicht gerade das Ziel? Ich fand mich ziemlich cool. ;) Die zweitcoolste war meine Tante - wirklich, selbst ich hätte mich kaum getraut. Aber sie konnte es. Und so sind die Engländer. Aber, ich vergesse immer ich &lt;em&gt;bin&lt;/em&gt; doch so Eine. Spätestens wenn ich hinfliege, merke ich wie anders ich mich eigentlich fühle. Und das ist doch okay. Wenn ich ehrlich bin, hab das Land der Engeln in drei Jahren kein einziges Mal vermisst. Jedoch fand ich Einkaufen, Zeitungen, Zeitschriften schon spannender als bei uns. Und &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;als ich zum sechsten Mal in diesem Monat in die Maschine stieg, erinnerte ich mich daran, dass ich extra für meine Tante dort war - und sie hat sich gefreut. Das war doch das Wichtigste.

In fact, some of our Camino dorm friends courageously left the refuge at the crack of dawn to avoid the sun. This week, however, it seems a little cruel on the body to get up so early. But no pain no gain: easyjet guarantees cheap prices &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; red-eye specials. I took mom&amp;amp;dad to the airport this morning for the flight I'd be on just 24 hours later. No way could I have made a Friday morning flight. In fact, even so, the laptop comes with me on this trip so I can finish off urgent work. Arg! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Where I'm headed, the grass may look greener than on the photo here - in fact, does the grass &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt; go brown in the UK? First time I have been back since graduating in 2003 - yikes, I'm nervous. Maybe I'm just nervous about the "bad taste" theme party for my auntie. You mean, we're supposed to embarrass ourselves just for the sake of it? Actually, a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;s one challenging week comes to a close, I think I could use a good laugh before starting the next. That, and a nice Camino devotional, &lt;em&gt;eh Leens? :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.. enough for now dudes, I've gotta go to bed if I want to be up at 4:30.

Quelle transition turbulente entre les vacances et le retour. Le seul réconfort étant, j'ai presque l'impression que je suis encore dans l'avion. Bon, on pouvait s'y attendre. Frustrée de ne pas avoir pris davantage de temps "type Santiago" cette semaine pour m'aérer le crâne, je me contente du rite d'ouvrir les photos de vacances au quotidien. Narcissisme ou nostalgie, à toi d'en trancher (me connaissant, il y a les deux), mais tu m'excuseras - l'aventure de la semaine passée me manque. Vas pas à en croire que la semaine n'a pas apportée des occasions pour sourire - je pense à lundi, où on a roulé sur mon pull - juste avant que je m'en serve pour reçevoir un client. Ou alors la vente de Charlette qui a été faite à 1h du mat' jeudi. Cette semaine était bien moins tranquille et relativement dure. Mais à moi d'essayer de garder la fraîcheur des vacances et surtout la sérénité que le timeout m'a apporté. *Allez, euph', c'est bientôt le weekend*.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115106766683450464?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115106766683450464/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115106766683450464' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115106766683450464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115106766683450464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/06/narcissisme-ou-nostalgie.html' title='narcissisme ou nostalgie?'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115058910766057999</id><published>2006-06-18T01:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-19T00:31:20.133+02:00</updated><title type='text'>post-pilgern</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/wave%20and%20view.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/wave%20and%20view.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Und so schnell geht es - wir sind schon wieder zu Hause! Zurück zum üblichen Blog-Sprachwechsel. Ja sooorry, aber ihr Deutschen seid sicher mit dem WM beschäftigt oder? ;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Vor einigen Stunden sind wir in Genf gelandet. D&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;reckig, nostalgisch und überzeugt, dass Gott ein grosser und humorvoller Gott ist. &lt;/span&gt;Die vergangene Woche war auf dem Camino de Santiago so eine kostbare Zeit mit viel Freiraum zum Abschalten, Nachdenken, Leute treffen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Interessant auf dem Jakobusweg, worauf Jakobus das Evangelium nach Spanien gebracht hat, ist dass Leute unheimlich offen sind. Klar, jeder befindet sich dort aus verschiedenen Gründen. Aber dort begegnen Sportler Priester, Rentner, Hippies, Ehepaare und Studenten - und alle haben Zeit und Fragen en masse über die Bedeutung des Lebens und ihre Grenzen. Genial. Eines Tages wenn wir richtig viel Zeit haben, möchten wir beide nochmal hinfliegen und die ganzen 750km von Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port bis Santiago de Compostela zusammen laufen. Abgemacht wäre Juni 2036. Und bis dahin werden wir beide sicher allein hingehen wollen.

Die Umwege, Fragen und Frustrationen haben uns so viel gezeigt. Jeden Tag war wie eine Andeutung von unserem Alltag.

It was awesome to eat breakfast on the terrace, lay on the beach this morning, read the Word and watch Leens and the surfers try to ride the waves. The cliffs jet out into the water with crashing waves - it´s quite spectacular. It was nicer to be on the beach in the morning since the real brown body watchers seem to populate the soft sand come the afternoon. We took it easy, slept lots and even went to the local "dolla shops" when they opened after siesta time (4pm). I didn´t expect to come back with a complete set of replacement Art Deco plates for my retro clear yellowness at home but - err, a designer plates &amp; bowl set for 14 EUR is worth attempting to bring them home, no? Somehow. In the full backpack. On the plane - along with the new cutlery we decided to add to the fun. ;) We laughed all the way back to "Hotel Record", realizing how typical this was for us. Tomorrow it is back to Bilbao as we take the plane back home on Saturday from there. Besides, two days here is probably more expensive than the rest of our Camino time. But then again, neither of us expected to refurnish our kitchen within our budget. ;) Ok, time to leave the internet café for now. Might like an evening walk along the coast. Either that or a jog tomorrow first thing. The view is supposed to be spectacular.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115040546858692298?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115040546858692298/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115040546858692298' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115040546858692298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115040546858692298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/06/souvenir-shops.html' title='souvenir shops'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115030462503694157</id><published>2006-06-14T18:49:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-18T00:59:58.886+02:00</updated><title type='text'>san sebastian</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/beach.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/beach.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today we walked to Pamplona and then headed towards the warm spanish coastline of San Sebastian. Although it has been the expected growth spirt and much more, it was time to get out of the sun. 8 hours a day, even with sunscreen spread all over the body multiple times during the day, can cause a lot of damage to the body. The thermometer on a building read 33 degrees at 9:30pm - hot. Both Leens and I had made a pact to spend two days just hanging out at the beach to wash up - so coming to San Sebastian today was perfect. Public transport in Spain seems to be pretty good. So we took a bus to Bilbao and randomly chose (literally within 3 minutes) where we wanted to take the next bus to. San Sebastian is a beautiful &amp;amp; scenic surfer city with 181'700 people, money goes really fast and people are really interested in their bodies. Coming straight from our Camino week, this was a bit of a shock. No, we don´t want to turn the page so very fast. Still, we wanted to come back having felt rested. Maybe we can rent a parasol tomorrow. And we will most definitely kick back, jump in the sea and reflect upon the time we return to the Camino. It´s in our blood now! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115030462503694157?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115030462503694157/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115030462503694157' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115030462503694157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115030462503694157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/06/san-sebastian.html' title='san sebastian'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013798.post-115021425904631336</id><published>2006-06-13T17:44:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-18T01:02:37.866+02:00</updated><title type='text'>calling-in from cizur</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/1600/chemin%20cemitary.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2604/639/320/chemin%20cemitary.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Puente la Reina ended up being a great place to stay. We left the refuge later than we had hoped. Basically, leaving after 7am is bad news as you end up being in the scorching sun all day. Most people seem to leave at 6-7am in the morning and stop at the next stop by 3pm or so. We really felt the effects of the sun today - nausia, sun rashes, diziness. But nothing a coke can´t take away at the end of the day, so we just pressed on. At lunch, we met another German gal, who sat next to us. Like many, she is doing the walk on her own and just bumping into the most fascinating people. We decided we wanted to pray for her and also for other people on our hearts. Yesterday, we focued more on missions and new ways of using business and missions together - and used that as a basis for prayer. Today was more for breakthrough for the people we met and know in Geneva. The views today were outstanding and the sky yet again cristal clear. Bright blue just like the past few days. We stopped here in Cizur Major. According to our book it was a winner. And that it turned out to be. The internet terminal happens to be in our room (a bad thing?) and there is even a garden with a little fountain. Luxury dormitory! Our goal was Pamplona, but we did a slight detour for at least 5km. It took a lot of mental energy to guess the way back - even more than the physical exercise of the Walk. We discovered today, that we are excellent uphill mountain walkers - we conversed easily for 4km of steep uphill at around a heart rate of 160. Downhill was hard on the knees. But again the trek taught us a bit more about ourselves and gave us some spectacular views over Pamplona. That´s where we´re headed tomorrow. Either we take a bus to the coast from there or carry on a little while. We´ll see. In the meantime, we shall just hobble to the nearest food place we can compensate for the 4000 lost calories. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9013798-115021425904631336?l=backtoeuph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/feeds/115021425904631336/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9013798&amp;postID=115021425904631336' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115021425904631336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9013798/posts/default/115021425904631336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtoeuph.blogspot.com/2006/06/calling-in-from-cizur.html' title='calling-in from cizur'/><author><name>euphonies</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16830900700801598709</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://www.tompgalvin.com/places/ch/photos/geneva_01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
