Remscheid, Germany - 25th February 2010
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
we baked a delicious cake today, a cake with curd-filling and tangerines. Baking a cake is always a good idea Soon we gathered all the ingredients which we needed for the cake, a cake with curd-filling and tangerines. That sound really good.
For the dough we need margarine, sugar, eggs and wheat flour with some baking powder. The filling is made of curd, eggs, sugar, a little bit oil and milk and vanilla sugar, and of course canned tangerines.
I put the tangerines into a strainer and saved the juice.
First we made the dough and put it into the baking pan.
For the filling we had to mix curd, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla sugar, oil, milk and finally beaten egg whites.
The tangerines were put on top of the filling.
The cake had to bake than for about 50 minutes. It was almost ready than.
Finally the cake was covered with "Tortenguss" .
Than we enjoyed the cake. It is really delicious and refreshing.
If you would also like to try this cake you can find the full receipe here .
Bye
Cilly

Remscheid, Germany - 27th February 2010

Hi Mummy,
the weather was much better today so we took a walk in the forest. Katja was picked up by her friend Kerstin, who brought her dog Pepe with her. We parked the car on a parking site for hikers at one of the outer limits of Remscheid's municipal area.
From here we crossed the district "Unterburg" which belongs to the neighbour city Solingen. It is a very old district, situated at the river Wupper.
We walked down a really steep and narrow road to reach the valley.
A large tree was cut down recently.
Soon we reached the river Wupper. Due to snow melting it has high-water.
We followed a path along the river, uphill and downhill.
We crossed the river at t his bridge.
Close to a café we found snowdrops.
Now we followed a path on this side of the river. Again it went uphill and downhill. Here we saw high rocks.
Snow water is running down the hills everywhere.
A large bridge came in sight: Muengsten Bridge, Germany's highest railway bridge.
Finally we reached the bottom of the valley with the bridge.
Muengsten Bridge is made of steel. It is 107 m high and spans the valley of river Wupper, which is marking the border between Remscheid and the neighbour town Solingen.
The bridge is 465 m long and was completed in 1897 A.D.
A leisure park was built underneath the bridge a few years ago. You can relax on the lawns, play in the water and they have playgrounds for the kids.
Wolle found some snow remains in front of a building. She wanted to play with us in the snow, but we all are completely fed up with snow.
We walked until we reached another bridge, we crossed the river here once more. In the background you can see a cute little outlook pavilion. Katja told us that we would walk along this pavilion later.
Here we are!
We rested in front of this waterfall (also snow water) for a while.
Once more we walked underneath Muengsten Bridge, this time on the slope of the valley.
When we were on our way back to the car, the sun came out.
The sunshine does so good to me
Bye
Cilly

Mom,
I went to college!! It was so wonderful. Here I am on my way to the library at Vassar College! It is a beautiful campus, with amazing trees and flowers.
Well, we were busy loading boxes into a truck, and it was raining, so we didn't walk around too much. But it was exciting and I felt really really smart!
