And Here She Is...

Well we went on a mandatory outing Tuesday. Everywhere we went was totally interesting, but we had three tours in one day. By the time we got to the castle we were all completely exhausted. Which KC and the gang are demonstrating in the picture. We went to a town called Schlewig. The first stop was the Viking museum. The only tough thing about it is that everything is in German. It can be a little frustrating trying to read about a display when you don't have the vocabulary for it. The church above was sweet. The first picture is the view from the top of the bell tower (also shown). I have clips of me descending the spiral staircase. It was dark and a tight spiral. There were so many steps it took 4 separate shots all the way down. click here to see one of them: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=14127818. Not to mention that we all had to stop periodically to regain our balance. The staircase has a serious dizzying effect.

The picture of the watch is from the castle, dating about 1700. It only has one hand on it. My kind of watch. Apparently there was a time when the 'minute' didn't matter. As long as you made it within the hour you weren't considered late at all. Sweet eh?

We had our midterm party last night. Just a BBQ at the other dorm building. I didn't take any pictures there. I didn't think of it all. But so far so good!

We're going to the West coast tomorrow-hope it doesn't rain- and to Berlin Saturday!
