You Go Nate!

HOW I SPENT MY SOMMER VACATION: Part I

I've just returned from a wonderful two-week (almost) vacation in various parts of Germany. I have over 1000 photos to sort through so I have a lot of work to do. I've done and seen so much that I will have to divide it into several blog entries. So get ready!

Where all did I go? Who did I meet? What animals live in Sybille & Wolfgang's backyard? Does the hymn "Ye Elders of Israel" really make a party happenin'? What animal tried to eat my hair? What strange aquatic animal did I eat for dinner? What is a schloss? What famous Michael Jackson landmark did I visit? What action movie did I re-enact on location? Who left their hat on the field of Waterloo for me to see up close and personal? How many public music performances did I give and were they any good? Which famous composer's grave did I visit? Where were the roommates in my hostel from? Which two foreign countries did I visit for the first time? What is the view like from "The Balcony of Europe"? Will you be as surprised as I was by two different statues of Jesus? What is Silesian Kingdom of Heaven and were there prunes? Why did I get kicked off a train? What does Saxony have to do with Southern Utah? Did I really run around three different cities with three different women, a hairdresser, a kindergarten teacher, and one named Unna-Eike, all twice my age? What religion tried to convert me on the train? Did I really have a penthouse apartment all to myself for two nights? Who is John Galt?

The answers to these questions and more are coming right up... so keep a close eye on the blog!
