Photos of the new apartment, finally. We managed to move everything in one trip... so the whole process took maybe an hour. Really quite easy. The new place is nice, real walls and a ceiling and everything! It is a good change... though I miss the views. But, the neighborhood is quiet, and close to work. We like it.
Wow. I have not updated this in ages. So, what has been happening... I was in New York City for most of April. Thanks to everybody who came to see and met up with me. It was really great to see you all again.
So, couple of new pictures. The lovely valley shots are of the Danube Valley, where we went hiking a few weeks back. Very cool day. Went with a Stuttgart hiking club group... all of whom where 60+. I remember thinking when I saw the group that this was going to be no probem. A great first real hike of the season. I could't have been more wrong. I will never underestimate German senior citizens ever again.
Bagel Making in the Treehouse! What fun! Especially as our oven is called a "mini cooker", which is an overglorified toaster oven / hotplate combination, the two components of which can not be used at the same time. Also, we have one bowl. But they actually came out quite good. We didn't quite get them done for breakfast.... this was like a 2.5 hour process, but bagels for lunch are also good.
Photos from my trip to Austria on Thursday and Friday of last week. The office sponsored us all to go. There is a new exhibit which was put together about the Architecture / Engineering partnership between Behnisch and Transsolar (they do all the energy consulting and climate engineering for Behnisch) and it is now in Dornbirn Austria in this funky lighting facory thing. We all went to the opening of the exhibit, where we listened to speaches and had dinner. The next day came back for a tour of both the little lighting museum and of the factory. Rather cool. After we went to Bremenz, which is maybe 15 minnutes away to see Peter Zumthor's Kunst Museum. Gorgeous.
Enjoying some of the best weather we have had in a while. Granted, I had to cut the ride a little short because the wind was so crazy, but I got quite a bit in before that. Rode up through the vinyards across the river. It is amazing how green everything still is. Though, it is supposed to snow this week (finally) so this is probably the end of that.
Very nice though. I had been wanting to go up there for a while. The hills were killer. The plan was to ride along them into the city, but the wind and my legs forced and early turnaround.... so I went back down the valley and up the big hill to Heumaden. Oye. Time for a nap I think. :)
Learning to ski at West Mountain on 100% fake snow :). I have many bruises.
