        MERRY
                  XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY!!!  
              Another
                          year has rolled by?too fast as usual. And if, in the
                          middle of your busy lives, you are craving a little
                          boredom, here is my annual Christmas update - after
                          getting some complaints about not writing one last
                          year. I personally believe that sending (and of course
                          receiving) Christmas letters is a nice way to keep
                          tracks with the lives of friends and family. So: Read
                          it or leave it, but don't blame me for writing it :o)   |

                  more
                  than 10 year have passed since dani & markus lived in paris.
                  so we returned for some sight-seeing that we never did then
                  (yes, we even went to visit the louvre). with two well prepared
                  guides i was in good hands ;)   |
