Billy in Munich

I can't remember if I've mentioned that our Billy moved to Munich with his German girlfriend. They moved about two months ago and are enjoying it.

They seem to be getting into all sorts of things and have done an 80km bike ride to raise funds for Unicef. Billy looked a little bit tired at the end of it:


They also enjoy their breakfast on their apartment's balcony. With so many trees around it, the sound of birds singing is a great start to the day.


Billy will start a German course tomorrow (trying to learn the language on his own was proving to be a challenge). He posted this video on Facebook to illustrate how different it is from other languages:



We hope to visit them in September. It should be interesting to compare Munich to Leipzig, which we visited in 2008. We spent Christmas with Sandra's family and can't remember eating so much in our lives! Sandra's mom is an accomplished cook, but she overdid it a bit. We had several meals each day and they were all enormous!

We can't wait to see both of them again. The last time they were here together was in 2012. Here they are, at the Soirée Européenne.


While we count the days until September, we'll practice some German.

Guten tag!
