Thursday, June20 was the day of this year's Summer Solstice. Bright sunshine at the dawn of the longest day of the year lended its bright warm light to the joyful dancing in our class.

Yasuno just had returned from her month-long trip to Japan. She brought very cute and yummy sweets for all of us. So it was the right time for a little celebration of our reunion. Everyone enjoyed her "Kurogoma-tamale" sweets (its name would translate to "little black egg" in English).
Thank you,Yasuno-chan.
Earlier this month, Wolfgang from Germany, one of our class mates, told me about the severe floods in the south of Germany, right where his father lives.. When I think of that, I realize how great our current situation out here is. Even though I have been dealing with heavy hay fever. When on a trip home, Wolfgang always brought us nice special chocolates from his home town. Our group enjoyed very much the treat. But two weeks ago the city and all of its surroundings were under water. The damage is extensive, and support is sought for the recovery. Our group gathered a little fund for his father to his little support.
Summer Solstice Jun20, we presented it to Wolfgang. It will go to a local organisation, that provides emergency help to those who lost everything in the flood. Every contribution is highly appreciated.
