Walldorf, April 26, 2003

On April 26, 2003, Brigitte's mother, Mrs. Maria Mathilde Becker, has passed away. It is always a difficult time of saying good bye to a loved one.

China, September 15-30, 2002

It was one of our best decisions we did in the past. We booked a trip by ship on the JANGTZE river. We enjoyed 1500 miles on the YELLOW CRANE and saw the unspoiled Three Big Gorges, even the undamaged Three Small Gorges! It was great! Click HERE to read my journal (in German language).

Walldorf, February 16th and 17th, 2002

We celebrated the 50th Birthday of our friend WALTRAUD KOBAN at the Tennis Club Restaurant in Walldorf, Germany. It was a big party - I think over 30 guests attended the dilicious buffet. We enjoyed it very much - thank you dear WALTRAUD!

New Orleans, November 3, 2001

If you visit the French Quarter you feel like you've entered another dimension. We strolled through the streets: Bourbon and Royal and we felt the past. We rode by a carriage through downtown and returned to the center of the French Quarter, the Jackson Square with its jewels, St. Louis Cathedral (see picture). Jackson Square itself is surrounded by furtune tellers, portait artists, street performers, and entertainment buggy drivers. Next morning we drove back 800 miles to Naples in 12 hours. We were happy that we had the opportunity to visit all these wonderful cities.

White Castle, November 2, 2001

We left the Interstate 10 at Baton Rouge and took Hwy 1 South. Looking for Plantation Homes we didn't find any. But we asked a friendly police officer and he led us to the South's largest plantation home. In the late afternoon we visited NOTTOWAY PLANTATION in White Castle, Louisiana (see picture). It was completed in 1859. It's 64 rooms are a beautiful blend of Greek Revival and Italianate. With 22 enormous columns, NOTTOWAY is magnificently restored and open to the public. We rejected an overnight accommodation, because the old beds were not so comfortable. Late at night we reached New Orleans.

San Antonio, November 1, 2001

After visiting NEW BRAUNFELS with its many historic houses with German names, we reached at San Antonio in the early afternoon. We made a wonderful tour by boat through the tiny canals and rivers of that beautiful town. We enjoyed the attraction of San Antonio: THE RIVERWALK. At JOE'S fishhouse we had dinner. The fish was delicious.

New Braunfels, November 1, 2001

On I-10 we saw a traffic sign to NEW BRAUNSFELS! We made a turn and followed that sign. NEW BRAUNFELS was prepared for the 41st WURSTFEST, which will begin tomorrow. You may see hundreds of people dressed in lederhosen, tyrolean hats, and other Bavarian attire. One-third of the city's residents are fourth to sixth generation German descendants. When Prince Carl of Solms-Braunsfels led a group of German settlers to Texas, he discovered the beautiful Comal and Guadalupe Rivers and believed that their clear flowing waters, the rolling green pastures and majestic cypress trees would sustain life for generations to come. He then named the area after his German hometown.
All above is worth to mention, because we are living not far from Braunsfels in Germany and I'd played many rounds of golf on the course of Braunfels.

Houston, October 31, 2001

Today at night we enjoyed strolling through the streets of KINGWOOD (Houston). We watched at the kids. They were happy knocking on doors and getting candies. It's Halloween! We enjoyed our 3-day-stay in Houston at the Andresen Family very much. Brigitte Peters is related to Beate Andresen; she is her aunt. Click on picture to enlarge. It shows Saskia Andresen (left) with her girlfriend.

Naples, October 26, 2001

Today, Brigitte and me, we began our trip from Naples to Houston by car. We had our first stop in Apalachicola. The name of the port comes from the Indians and means "Land of the friendly people". Apalachicola are located in the panhandle of Florida, near the most beautiful and well preserved natural resources. The pristine beaches and peaceful river make Apalachicola a wonderful area for nature lovers and is famous for some of the best seafood in the country. And that what we tested at Carolin's in the harbour. We enjoyed a big plate of excellent seafood.
Next morning, October 27, 2001, we headed to our next stop: Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana. From there we finally reached at Houston on October 28, 2001.

September 11th, 2001

With the tragic events that have occurred on this day it is extremely important to me that I express my deep sadness and sympathies to all those affected.
With respect and sadness, Juergen Peters.

Walldorf, June / July 2001

To maintain Brigitte's recovery I canceled our flights to America for this summer season. In the meantime Brigitte is doing fine. Everything is okay.

Walldorf, May 3rd, 2001

On Saturday, May 5th, I celebrated my 60th birthday in our tennis club restaurant in Walldorf. 40 guests attended this party with life music, but without Brigitte - that was sad. She was in a hospital at that time. I was very pleased, that all my relatives from Berlin came over by train or car and stayed in Walldorf for this weekend.

We attended a great Thanksgiving party at Nuzzi's house in Naples. From left to right: Robin, Sab, Sam, Rita, and Brigitte. CLICK on image for full view.
