Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Hil - Hiking up Mt. Rainer, a dormant volcano in Washington

Lil - Hugging the founder of Code Pink and getting yelled at by Randall Terry at the same protest

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Both of us enjoy cooking and baking and can show others what we know. In addition, Lil can teach others basic bookbinding and book repair and Hil can take interested folks to work to ride along a la COPS. Oh yeah, Hil can show you how to extinguish a lit match in your mouth which is pretty awesome...
