Because we haven't had a picture of Beauty in the last two months, here is Beauty relaxing among our recycling bins on a warm afternoon.

El's frequent visitor, the chihuahua (otherwise known as Bjorn's girlfriend) has everyone wishing for a house dog to accompany our house cat, Beauty.

The girls and Leo. Eleonor, Rachael, Aline, and Margot celebrated their birthdays with a little party.

The elegant and graceful Mariana has left German House to return to Brazil. We'll miss you very much and wish you the best!  Here she poses with Bjorn.

Aline has left German House to return to Brazil, but it is not the last time we will see her, like most members in the house she has made a special connection to Deutsches Haus which will surely bring her back once more.  Here is Aline with the much loved Borat at opening night at the Alamo Drafthouse.

Two and a half years and  a masters degree later, Eleonor Barraza has left German House to return to Mazatlan, Mexico.  Here is the surfer girl braving an unknown state of water; the ice skating rink at WholeFoods.

Remember these people? A total of twelve 2005-2006 and current German House members reunited in Germany and Austria this Christmas.  They rented a small hut in Hoch Zirl, Austria to bring in the new year, then went on to Munich and Wurzburg to reunite with other members and take in some German architecture.

Our Fall Semester 2006 German House picture.  Yes, they're always laughing.
