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
