December 8 (Saturday), 2007 - Club Kaulberg, Bamberg

I finished Khaled Hosseine’s book “A thousand Suns” on this journey, with tears pouring down my cheeks for many minutes. “The kite runner” had a bit of a softer ending but it had the same effect on me. My tears are filled with the love of tiny triumphs over struggle, betrayal, guilt, fear and  honor. Hosseieni’s books are brilliant. Thanks to my Dutch cousin Dicky and my Mama for recommending them! Bamberg is an old beautiful Bishop town laced with HUGE Catholic Churches. My sunny California belly shot picture took up a half page in the paper so that is fun and Toni’s place was packed. My voice was tired-burnt out-so physically I didn’t want to sing and I could hear how hoarse it was with every note. I wish I had napped and found ginger tea to help a little. It was good to see more women than usual in the audience and some friends of mine drove hours to get to this last show. Thank you!...'Frohe Wiennachten! (Merry Christmas!) See you next OCTOBER.
