And what else?

Beside my work I try to learn more about Cranio Sacral Therapy and once in a while I give a session to friends.
With George I went to Skagway, USA .... but we had really bad luck. The weather was bad and we were excately in the snowing clouds ... no view, we could hardly see the street and finally we saw the Ocean ...
It was very funny because the temperatures were absolutely different ( warmer ), no snow and the air very humid .... and Bella saw the first time the Ocean. She was very interested in the sea gulls - but the sea lions were to fare away for her.
And on my day off ( I have Sunday and Monday off now ) I try to do something nice ... the last time it was just a perfect day on the Yukon River with a spectacular view.

We had some day with warm temperatures so that the snow started melting ... what is not so nice. The top of the snow is frozen in the morning and very icy.
Than we got new snow and I am pretty sure that the temperatures will drop again ( today it was -22°C in the morning ) ... it is just March and springtime won't be here until mid April!

San Francisco

I went for a training in Cranio Sacral Therapy to Berkeley and on my day off, I had the chance to visit SAN FRANCISCO ..... yeah!


Arriving at San Francisco .... no rain and I could see the Golden Gate Bridge from the plane.


Really old style but still great working ....


... and here you can see the typical streets from San Francisco ...


... and the towers from the big city.


Absolute tourist area .... Fisherman's Wharf ...


... with a view towards the famous prison Alcatraz.


I didn't go for a visit ... don't understand why I should visit a prison.


Instead I had fried Calamares and had to protect them against the seagulls!


I visited the Aquarium ( Sydney is better ) and outside I found those sea lions on a pier.


They were taking a sun bath and had little fights going on ... very noisy and interesting.


A gate to nowhere?


Entrance to China town.


Golden Gate Bridge by night.

Merry Christmas



Merry Christmas to everyone and a great start into 2008!!!!

Winter time is coming 2

Another little view into the Yukon at winter time ...


... the walks into the bush are so beautiful now ...


... especially with such great sun light!


And at the entrance of Whitehorse the Yukon River is still a little bit open!


Bella is really enjoying the snow ... big fun for her!

Now I am 35 years old ...

... so I had a little "party" in my cabin ...


... I got this great birthday cake ...


... from Julia ...


... and my neighbours Yvonne and Harry had the honour to light the candles ( really 35 candles ).


Martin, my landlord, was also there and ...


Maria and Werner Walcher too!

Winter time is coming

Slowly the winter is coming ... we have already since a while little snow ... and now the temperatures dropped down until -30° C which is still warm for this time of the year ( last year they had -40° C).


So the Yukon River starts to get frozen what is quite amazing for me!


Another view on the Yukon River!


And when I walk Bella now, we both get frozen hairs in our face!

My new home in Whitehorse - part two

I just add a few more pics so that everyone can see that i'm not living in the middle of nowhere ...


... view out of my big windows. In summer time it is the barbecue area.


Caused by the fact that i got a fridge, i changed the position of my sofa.


Bella and her moose bone which she got from the neighbours ... i'm happy that she didn't get the whole leg ;-)


The big building on the left is the main house where my bathroom is. Behind my dirty car is the office of the campground which is now closed.


On the right is my cabin, in the middle a little shop for wood work and on the left a kennel ... but Bella doesn't like too much to be in there.


She prefers to stay close to me, in her bed beside my bed.

Fire fighter

I visited my friend Werner Walcher at the fire fighters from Mount Lorne ...


A training ...


... how to use a fire extinguisher ...


... successful?


Werner meant that i would fit perfectly in the truck!


And they will get a new truck in spring ... which is even more impressive!

My new home in Whitehorse

After a long search I had the luck to get this cabin for me and Bella. I really like it to be here. It is 20 km south from Whitehorse on the Alaska Highway - close too town but also close to the bush.


The cabin from the outside.


Entrance area where Bella has her box and where she can stay when I'm working.


The little kitchen.


A second bed which I use as a sofa ... guests are always welcome!


My "dining room" and office place.


My really big bed!


Bella got this plastic thing around her head because she got beaten and was leaking too much ... so a very unhappy little girl.


This is the kennel just in front of my cabin where she can stay too.
