My weekend in Annecy
Last weekend (Jan 15-16) I went to visit my friend Megan in Annecy for a night. It's about a 2 hour train ride. The town is adorable, with a gigantic lakefront and an old city centre that features canals and crooked little passageways and mysteriously winding stone steps. It was fucking freezing that weekend, so we tried to get as much sightseeing in as possible while the sun was (luckily) shining. That night we ate with the family that Megan lives with. They prepared a regional specialty called "racquelette" (sp?) which is basically cheese that you melt in a special aparatus and put over potatoes and ham. Very hearty.
A sundial by the lake. Also a compass and I believe some kind of astronomical thingy.

Megan and I on a bridge over the canal. Behind us is a sculpture that juts out of the water. I tried to upload the image of just the sculpture but my flickr account is full for this month. Maybe I'll find another way...

Me behind the chateau d'Annecy, which has been restored to house a museum of both contemporary art and regional history. The best part was getting to walk around in an old chateau.

I know anyone could be reading this, but whatever.
Whatever you thought you read yesterday was a momentary burst of emotions. I've erased it to protect the innocent.

Herzliche Wilkommen
Happy New Year! Fröliche Neujahrzeit! We made it to Berlin on Wednesday, and set to sightseeing right away. The first thing we did was take a horribly planned tourbus around the city to "get our bearings" (my idea). But the bus was ghetto. The roof was a tarp that smacked against its frame loudly whenever we hit the slightest bump in the road. What's more, most of the headphones were broken so I listened with one ear to the English commentary and the other to the smacking of the plastic roof-tarp. Our first impression of Berlin was from a broken-down double-decker bus on a dreary drizzly day. But it got better from there...
