Comfort Hotel Goettingen Göttingen

Well, I missed a post one day and then it grew to two, then three.... I tried to remember each day, but I couldn't.

Some highlights...

We went to a medieval market. It was pretty crowded since it was set up on narrow streets in a village. I did get to try Kartoffelpuffer there. It's a potato pancake fried in oil. Mmmm.

I also got to hike around in Altenberg. There were ...

... vergeht schnell und seitdem ich aus dem schönen Süden wieder hier im Norden bin war viel zu organisieren und es ist noch einiges übrig geblieben was noch geplant werden muss.

Es freut mich wenn ihr Interesse daran zeigt, was ich so erlebe in dem Jahr und natürlich freut man sich über den ein oder anderen Kommentar

 

... stuff for diner. We stop in a big hardware store to find out if anyone knows where a campground is. The first person Len talks to speaks really good English. He asked Len where he was from and Len said Winnipeg. He tells Len he has been to Lake Winnipeg and across to Alberta. Wow, what a surprise. We find that about 8 kms from here there is a campground. I struggle with a woman telling me the directions, in German. I think I ...

... the campus and being "the new kid". Although I surly couldn't hold a conversation with them, I caught my fair share of "hey, who's that guy" looks from cute German girls. Martin rides a bike to school everyday so we returned to his house via bike. Then the rain started to come. At about high noon we set off, on bike to visit his friend Coraline.

Checking in at Condors in Bahias small airport was easy. Condor took off on time and we had a pleasent flight. 10 hours later we touched down in Frankfurt.

It was a funny feeling to come home after one year. Nobody was ...

*1934 in Berkeley (US), lives in Santa Fé (US) McCracken's work is characterised by a highly distilled formal vocabulary, refined over many years of development. Colour and surface are utilised to create perceptual shifts between materiality and immateriality, providing his minimalist sculptures with a metaphysical presence. This aspect is extended in a different direction in his detailed mandala paintings.

... he wanted but later realized it was just to torment and distract me. Well it worked!!! I was totally frustrated by the end and succumbed to my doom. I plan to play him tomorrow in a rematch but I have to be very careful next time because he is good, VERY GOOD. I would have played him again but we had to get dressed because today was the big event. It's Ines and Matthias' 10 wedding anniversary and they are having a big party at the best hotel in Gottingen and we were lucky enough ...
