getting sick, what the hell?

long time no update...again. ah well. first i got sick. for the first time in 10 years. what the hell? just when i came back from Miami, i catched a nasty flue that kept me on the couch for two days. i had a hard time to move, everything hurt and fever made me sweating and freezing on the same time. bleh. beeing sick sucks. good thing it doesn't happen very often. once every ten years is definitely enough. i'm glad nicki had a day off to take care of me.

and yes. coming back from Miami means i had to go there first. it was my friends emilys birthday and she invited me to come over and celebrate. and so i did. of course i took the chance and got myself some beach time. it's a good thing that florida has beach weather all year round.

but before i had the chance to get some sand and beach, i had to prepare myself for the long trip (almost four hours, uhm..) with good food and drinks. good thing it was thanksgiving. it's a shame we don't celebrate that in switzerland, as it's all about eating and drinking and therefore great. on the other hand, we don't have that many antibiotics and hormon fed turkeys so i guess we stay with our melted cheese from grass fed cows. it may make you feel worse on the day you eat it but on the long run, i definitely prefer it this way.

well, it is also a time to hang out with family, means i got the chance to spend some quality time with nickis brother patrick. which is always good fun. he took us to his private dirt track where he showed off some bad ass jumps and then let me ride his 250 dirt bike. sweet. not that i ever did anything like it, but i guess you have to start somewhere and as i normally skip the beginner stuff anyway, i started with a real bitch of a bike. the slightest turn on the throttle made the bike go loose. well, it's a dirt bike for jumps, therefore acceleration is what's it's all about. but i survived and i even managed to keep the bike intact. yay me.

but to go back to where i started. i got sick, i recovered and then it was almost time to leave again. means i had to celebrate a couple good bye parties. and of course plenty of organizing. nicki is moving to switzerland next year and therefore we had to pack everything up, sell as much as possible... and party hard for a last time. uhm...

and then another adventure in the land of the brave and the free was over and the long and boring trip back to switzerland. home of the free as well though. they just don't have to constantly remind other people about it.
