Sjeltur

Well; the header is covering it……
Not a lot of writing on this weblog lately….!
And why..??

Mmmmmh…. no idea…. maybe nothing interesting to mention…??
Ah well…..hopefully the “inspirition” will come back soon.
And that is also why I am writing this one…..; to see if this will help me to get back to writing stuff on sjeltur.nl.

Lately I have been busy with my new little hobby; the iPad….
I bought one during my trip in the USA – after coming back – I also decided to make a new weblog; www.mijnipad.net => in which I am writing about all the apps etc I am using on/with my iPad. It is writen in Dutch – BUT I did put a Google translation button on it also….. SO… maybe you are able to figure out “what I am writing about”…..

Today I saw an article about Germany, being the 2nd largest exporter in the world…
I was a bit surprised…., but then realized; they do have Mercedes, BMW, Siemens and a lot more….

Then it hit me……., just before I went on my holiday, the euro went totally down.
First we had the Greek going bankrupt, then the stories about Spain going down…., maybe Portugal going down…..
And then; prime minister of Germany, Merkel, is telling the whole world we (the European Community) is facing hard time and she is wondering about the Greek; will they be able to pay us back. Next step; the President of the federal bank of Germany is also telling about the hard times we are facing…..
And again, Merkel is making a speech about the crisis….and her doubts…

During this period of time, the euro went down from 1,35 to 1,25….
With falling further after all then speeches of those Germans….

Until today, I thought they where just plain dumb…as it would help the value of the euro going further down.
But now….I do realize it is helping the Germans, as the world second exporter; they would sell more cars…more tvs etc etc…..
And now I am wondering; did Merkel give those speeches on purpose….? Did she want the euro to go down…??
Is it her fault my holiday in the USA was that expensive…? With the rate of 1,18?
They are selling more BMWs and Mercedesses……. And the rest of the EU is paying the bill….!

Totally forgot to tell you; we also did a tour on Graceland/Memphis…..
Really impressive….!!

Then a drive to Natchez – nice scenery…..as we did not drive the normal route – but we went via the 61.
We had an AMAZING bed and breakfast overthere…. -> Bluff Top Bed and Breakfast…… a nice porch with view on the Mississippi…. WOW….
Again “THANX” to Neil – the owner if this B&B.

Natchez is also a beautifull place…. hope to go there again.

And then again – a very nice drive via the 61 to New Orleans…… what to say about this city uh…?? Except for…. WOW…. or triple WOW or even more wows….
Nice…we have 3 more days in New Orleans !!!
