Hi there,
I arrived at my first host's home today. Here are already some ToyVoyagers. They are Murph, Cyryl, a lion like me, Cilly, Wieka and Nala. Katja is my first host.
She took me with her when she returned to her workplace after lunch break. The first photos were taken in the vicinity of my home.
Many old houses!
This is a water tower, together with the tower of the city-hall it makes the typical silhouette of Remscheid.
And this is the city-hall. The Christmas-market is taking place in front of it, so we cannot take a proper photo of the city-hall.
When we returned home in the evening, we made cookies. Germans usually make lots of cookies before Christmas. Katja got the receipe from another ToyVoyager member from Austria. Today we tried to make them.
First we had to cook cream, honey and butter until the mass was thickening. Than we added almonds and candied fruit, later also some wheat flour.
We made little piles of dough onto a baking tray. They had to bake for about 10 minutes. Than the result was looking like this:
They were already delicious, but Katja added some melted chocolate, which made them even better.
Than I found the mug with the melted chocolate inside ...
Yummy!!!
The first day of my journey was really exciting.
Bye
Walter
