Osterferien

I am back, after a restful week's holiday in the south. I finally met my mother's parents, who would be my grandparents, and I spent a couple of warm days at their home, walking around, knowing incredible places, and eating, of course.

I have to say that all the grandparents' households have something that makes them special, in some way. For me, in my country, grandma's house was someplace where the rules were different from what they were at home. I have always run to my granma's when I felt angry or upset, and my grandma was always there to make me see things from another point of view, more calmy. I also still taste in my mouth her cakes and desserts. And I have discovered that, to a greater or lesser extent, all the people have such a feeling with their grandma's house.

The home of my grandparents here was largely a warm home, you could feel it. There were little things everywhere, souvenirs from different places, handcrafted clay dough ornaments of all kinds and gifts they have been collecting over their lifetime. That is really characteristic. All grandparents love to talk about their grandchildren and being able to show how much they are loved and appreciated by them is a truly wonderful thing.

The grandmothers' meals are also renowned all over the world for their flavor, and this time it was not an exception. Oma (German word for grandma) cooked a variety of typical dishes of the area, and as expected, everything with a strong and delicious taste. I must say that I ate too much. Tons of ice cream, tasty home-baked cakes, warm bread, and pretzels (a type of bread made from dough and savory in a unique knot-like shape) were devoured by the hungry grandchildren, to the joy of the grandmother.

Referring to my progress, I have discovered myself talking German, which is also an incredible feeling inside that fills me with energy and desire to move forward. On the other hand, and much to my chagrin, I notice day after day how my English and Spanish are getting worse. I can't speak without making several grammar mistakes, and all the time my head is full with a mixture of words and languages. I know the situation will change over time, or at least I hope so.

I believe that music is a good way to convey emotions, so here you are a little present, one more window into my world. I am sure you will feel the joy.



Finally, I expect everyone has an outstanding Easter time, enjoying the company of the family and forgetting the problems. Bye!
