Alright! So, about those parrots. The pictures are still poor, but at least it's something...right? I found a feather while walking around, so if anyone really wants to see what colour they are...look at the feather when I get back.

Ok, here goes again! This time with pictures from Trier. I was having trouble with my camera this day, so a lot of them are pretty marginal. Sigh.
Also, not in any particular order.

Well, it's been a while! Sorry about that! Just been busy, or concentratedly un-busy, perhaps. Anyway, the days are going quickly and my time here is winding down. This is both sad and happy. I love Germany. I would readily come back next semester, perhaps even more permanently, if I could only bring my stuff with me and kidnap you guys. How about ( Read more... )

Alright, here goes. I have a lot more time today, so maybe I'll post a little more ( Read more... )

So, it turned out to be Stuttgart after all. The weather was nice, and it seems to be an interesting city. Made me realize how small and quiet Heidelberg really is. The main thing we did was the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Not something I would have ever chosen to do, but it was actually interesting. There was a large emphasis on world history in general ( Read more... )

Here goes again! The garden has continued to be awesome, and so I've continued to take pictures. I'm also working on videoing a walk through the whole thing just for myself. If anyone requests it I'll post it, but otherwise I'm not going to bother. Don't know that it will mean much to anyone who's not spent a lot of time there.

Well, as usual plans have changed. Rather than Stuttgart on Saturday, we'll be doing München this coming weekend. Should be good, though! I'm still excited, and the weekend wasn't wasted. Spent a lot of time walking around. It turns out there are a bunch of farms right near here. More than I'd expected. I spent most of yesterday exploring further, ( Read more... )

So, it's been a while! But I have at least a couple of pictures from the last few weeks, so I thought I'd use a little computer lab time to dump them here. Not too much has been going on, although tomorrow I'm heading to Stuttgart with Rina, so that should produce some more news. For now, though, just some things I've found around Heidelberg.

So, due to internet problems, I can't currently use anything apart from Skype and AIM in my room. But.. There are computer labs for such eventualities.. right? I have to say, though, it really makes me uncomfortable sitting here with my back exposed and working where everyone can see me. Ah well, I guess I'm forced to overcome not only my internet ( Read more... )

No pictures today, just musings. The past two days have been gorgeous, and I've taken advantage of this by going to the Neckarwiese and enjoying the sunshine. The Neckarwiese is a park along the Neckar river, so right in town. It takes me maybe 20 minutes to get to the open spaces, and the walk is lovely; it follows next to the river. The place is ( Read more... )
