Germany: Meet my family (pictures!!). May 16, 2004

Well, you finally get to meet my Freak Family from Freiburg. These are some pictures from my good friends (actually my family), the Jesus Freaks.

I'll start with the blury picture. This is Johannes and Simon jamming on guitar. There is a saying in German "Jeder Christ, ein Guitarist" (Every Christian, a guitarist)

Ok, well, later that night I was at the apartment of "Die Katholichen Schwestern" (the catholic sisters). We watched "The Royal Family Tennenbaum" in German, and they we decided to play a game. The game basically went like this: there are two people standing up front, and they act out a scene with body language and spoken language. Then someone in the audience claps, the actors freeze, the person who claped goes up and replaces one of the actors (and freezes in the same position), and the scene changes. So I took some pictures of that. I'm not sure if I'll be able to explain everything.

Anna (right) and Marika (left) are arguing about something, but I can't remember what:

Angie (left. I think I have her name right, but I could be totally off. It's late) and Inge (right) are talking about something, but again, I forget what:

Ok, I think Johannes (right) is some sort of spiritual advisor, and Angie is getting advice:

I think Johannes is a beggar asking for D-Marks, only to find out from Titus (left) that the currency is now called the "Euro".

Florian (right) is giving Titus Yoga lessons:

Flo and Johannes (hard to see) are rock stars. Marika is in the way, but she can be a rock star too!

Johannes is a bull fighter. The bull (Anna) is out of the picture to the left:

Speaking of dancing, a week or two later I was at Maria's birthday party. There was a cool pair of sunglasses that Maria got as a birthday gift. We tried them on:

Here is Maria:

And I come in peace:

A couple nights before, Nadja, Inge, Jana and I watched Pulp Fiction. There is a scene were the two of the main characters are dancing. I think it was twist dancing, or something like that. Anyway, Nadja brought along the sound track to Pulp Fiction, and it came to that song. Somehow I ended on the dance floor with Inge doing twist to Pulp Fiction music (I can't dance, by the way).
