A Christmas Carol

Never expecting to find Germany in Houston, we've been very surprised to discover the Houston Liederkranz, a traditional German Gesangsverein. Here Linus has sung a Christmas carol, together with some of his colleagues from the Deutsche Samstagsschule. Reminds me of the 'Wiener Sängerknaben', very festive.

Thanksgiving Day Parade

Houston isn't New York City, but to have a glimpse at the Parade in downtown Houston instead of Macy's Parade was enjoyable too.

Show business

Even cats can enjoy a life on tour in the US. Here are the fabulous and amazing Acro Cats and the Rock Cats. You have to see them in little theaters, while in Germany cats had their great performance on TV in the eighties.

A book and a cat and a record

A definitely highlight is the Galveston Bookshop with the cat Gus.
No problem at all to stay there all day long.



Magical Galveston

We discovered the marvelous old fashioned beach island Galveston. A great place for happy moments and even more Victorian country houses than expected in a Texan surrounding.
