Boxers and Glass Boxes

Everybody here in Mannheim is talking about a new store - the flagship store of Peek & Cloppenburg (photo above and below), designed by "starchitect" Richard Meier (known for his glass boxes), opened today.

Meanwhile all the buzz today isn't just about the new shop. A big sporting event was held here in Mannheim - big in that just about any German sports celebrity was there - the boxing match between Germany's adopted son Wladimir Klitschko (watch out, Borat!) and Ray Austin for the world heavyweight title. Klitschko won.

Anne was all dolled up when she showed up at Wil's for our brunch, and Chinese new year dinner that night - special make-up, new 'do, the works - I just had to take pictures of her. Photo taken in February this year.
