A tradition started long ago when Alli went on travel and was missing her dog, Frito. I would e-mail her a picture a day. Now we have a blog to share with each other, and the world. Hope you find them interesting. By the way ... does your dog have a blog?

Snowball fight?
I think Alli is getting ready to nail me.
I better get a move on.
Nah, she would never do that. She's looking for Alpha (hee, hee)

Laughing with Alli
It was a beautiful sunny day for visiting the top of a mountain.
Here I am on the Zugspitzplatz -- an intermediate level at 2600 m where the cog rail takes you (the peak is 2962 m reached by a short cable car ride) .
In this sitting area, we found some teeter-totter logs, and this one has Alpha on one end and Alli on the other.
They seemed to have fun trying to keep in balance.
Humans -- go figure ;-)

On top of the Zugspitze
OK, this is cool. Here we are on the highest mountain in all of Germany -- the Zugspitze. That's Alpha, Mom, Alli and her friend Cheryl (plus moi of course). The Zugspitze is a little under 10,000 feet tall.
It was a gorgeous day, and we stayed up there for a while. We took their cog railway up to a lower summit, and then a cable car to the top. Doncha worry -- I'll show more pictures soon.

It's all just a blur
This is from our walk down after visiting Neuschwanstein castle (you know, the one Walt Disney modeled the Cinderella castle on).
It was so cool taking our trip down to Bavaria with Alli's friend Cheryl. We packed so much in to a short visit, that it's all somewhat of a blur (get it? ;-)
I'll show you more pictures later. Here is one to remind you of the castle:

Shhh, I'm praying
OK, so here we are, in the middle of nowhere, and look what we come across. One of the largest and most ornate churches I've ever seen (and yes, I've seen a few ;-)
This is inside Weiskirche, located in ... Weis, Germany (they are so original with their names). It is just amazing.
Now don't think me sacreligious. Can't you see my head is bowed?
Shhhhh, I'm praying.
Thanks, Mom, for taking me through this cool church.

Last Dance
Well, well, it certainly has been a long time.
Since we last spoke, both Greg and Alli have visited me in Germany -- woo hoo! In fact, Alli just left after spending about 6 weeks here while on break from Chaminade. That's the reason for the blog title. This photo was my "last dance" with Alli before she left on her 25-hour trip back to Honolulu.
And not only that, it was the last photo before Alpha's nice Nikon camera bit the big one. Here's what a photo later that day looked like. Oops.
We stopped into a camera store in Stuttgart and learned that the camera's sensor is "kaput". It will cost as much to fix it as to replace the camera. So that will have to be a task for the future.
But fear not! Alpha took so many pictures during my absence from Frito-a-Day, that we'll just make him work backwards to show you some of the cool things I've been up to.
More to follow ...
