Settling in at Rovello Porro 15th May 2002

After a really relaxing and comfortable night near dear Ketchup, I decided to listen to the early morning singing of the birds nested myself in one of Dagmar's geranium boxes.

Then we tried to take a picture of us two together which finally succeeded using a mirror!

Well, and now Dagmar is putting all the pictures we made on the web and I am watching her and telling her how to do it right!

Dagmar needed money, so I helped her to get some from the ATM near her place. She told me that they have new money here in Europe since the beginning of the year.

Then we went to the station in order to go to Milano, where Dagmar had some rehearsal she wouldn't tell me about yet! I hope it is something nice... I like the backpack she lets me ride in, I can always look at the surroundings and don't feel closed in!

And here we are on the train, we had to change twice and found a nice guy who took a picture of the two of us! It is already hot here, everybody leaves the windows of the trains open (Dagmar tells me AC is a luxury here) and it is rather windy.

 
FUN! Dagmar let me slide down this inclined marble surface several times, I would have continued for hours but we had to get to our next train! The two old men sitting on the bench were looking rather astonished at this woman who was playing with me and taking pictures like mad :)

From what Dagmar told me I thought Milano was a big city with only skyscrapers and traffic. But where we went today there were lots of gardens with beautiful flowers, I wanted a picture in front of a particularly beautiful rose bush. They smell good!

 
And here is the reason why we went to the city today: a concert rehearsal! Dagmar sings! Together with another woman and some musicians she will have a concert with opera music next week. It was the first time I heard this kind of music live! And you won't believe it..they even asked me to try out the piano and told me I had an inborn sense of music. Wow!

After two hours of music (some beautiful, some a bit boring, because they repeated every piece a hundred times in order to get it just perfect for the concert) we finally went home, on yet another train. In order to recover from the long sitting I moved a bit, we were alone on the train because it was rather late in the evening and so I raced around and climbed every seat. And now I am TIRED! Good night to everybody!
