My Trip in June



Europe and train travel are one and the same, for me. So train
stations like this one in Frankfurt fill my heart with romance.
They also have trash cans.







Andreas Grützmacher

I met this fine fellow through the web! He's a student at the HAB








The HAB Weimar

This former home of the Bauhaus gives Weimar its student scene





Weimar's parks

Goethe himself used to take strolls through this beautiful scenery





A Soviet graveyard

This Weimar cemetery was guarded by the Red Army only 6 years ago





Buchenwald concentration camp

The caption on this camp's gate reads roughly: "Everyone gets his"





Unmarked graves

They're hard to make out, but each steel pole marks a buried body





Treblinka bear pen

Right outside the fence, the SS maintained a small zoo





In Goethe's footsteps

This trail through the Thuringian forests was followed by Goethe




Stefan in Mannheim

Giving the ol' liver a good workout with friends





Carrie in Frankfurt

Engaging in yet more imbibing while sampling the local delicacies





Jan & Ida in Norway

Visiting my Danish friends and their new daughter in Sigdal





A wet bike ride

Riding through the Norwegian countryside with Jan's young students





Trudging through the tundra

I had a blast stomping through snow and sleet with Jan in June
