This is my friend Amanda Thompson. There are many reasons why I love her and enjoy being with her. She is creative...which is good since she is an art teacher! She loves the kids at BFA and loves the locals here in Germany and Switzerland...but my favorite thing about her is that she is an ALASKAN!!!!! She is from the Anchorage area and she went to UAS. For those of you who are non-Juneauites...it is the University of Alaska Southeast, which is located in Juneau. We love talking about local favorites like the Hanger, Doc Waters, and Pizzeria Roma! Yummy places to eat.
Amanda invited me to go bowling with some of her friends from her church. She attends a German speaking church in Basel, Switzerland. So Amanda and I met up with Kristoff who is a German that lives in Basel and Dany who is Swiss. He is actually from Schaluffhausen, which is near where the Spalinger family originated in Marthalen.
We had a great time. I found that my bowling class I took in college paid off! I was not the worst!!! We each played for the place where we grew up. So Kristoff was Germany, Amanda was Alaska, I was Ohio and Dany was Switzerland! It was really fun to meet some local people.
