Late summer in the city

and the living is still verrry easy! I decided to skip work for the day. Instead I went with Alex and Anna to visit Gipsy, our dog, and check whether she feels fine with her new hosts. Well, she did, and we decided she can stay with the Kaiser family. In the animal home Anna signed the paper work. Now we are without dogs again! :(
From Botnang I took the tram downtown and went to the travel agency known for great offers on trips around the world. Problem was they wanted to know where I would like to go. Sigh.
I got some new ideas on Australia, New Zealand and stopovers, all the same. And now I will decide by either throwing dice, or darts on a map of the world (as R-men in chat suggested - but since my skills are not that good, I might hit the south pole and be hosted by penguins), or by good luck aka invitations.
Later in the afternoon I met Bettina, my friend since I don't know how many years at the italian restaurant close to university where she works. Well, I do know: we met in Düsseldorf when studying, about 30 years ago. We strolled from "Mezzogiorno" (too expensive) to the beergarden close to the main station, and enjoyed chatting and sharing a flammekuchen and a few beers until way after 9 pm. Weather was just great, and the air nice and warm until late.
She gave me some new ideas about New York and Canada, where she had been some years ago. So maybe a stopover in Toronto on my way to Australia? Hmmm...
