        essa & jasper 
    after meeting up exactly a year ago in morocco, essa & jasper from holland
    came to see us after christmas and celebrated new year with us in grabs:
    sledging a few times (on sledges and snowboards...), skiing/snowboarding
    in wildhaus and unterwasser, playing roulette, skidding with cars, cooking
    with wood, eating röschti and fondue, laughing a lot and enjoying the time
    together. |

          a 
            week with seb 
            seb, a french friend, came to spend a great 
            week with us in the middle of october. he cycled here with his bike 
            all the way from france, travelling on, further east... we spent two 
            weeksfrom darchen 
            to lhasa 
            in tibet, just a year ago! while he was here in grabs we went hiking 
            and climbing in wildhaus (frümsel), climbing in brocheburg and 
            cycled to the schattenburg in feldkirch, had pizzas with his father 
            and friend, looked at pictures from our trips, dreamed about futur 
            travels and enjoyed the easy and sunny days. |

          hiking 
              with dani & luzia 
              after an early phone-call, to tell me that nanouk was born, we met 
              dani and luzia to hike up from oberriet up the kamor, then up to 
              hoher kasten and eventually over to the staubere. it was a beautiful 
              day with sun but ice cold temperatures. as always dani and luzia 
              hiked much faster than we did, so it was a hard tour - but it really 
              was worth it!   |
