Lost Books, Office, and Stuff

Similar to Cynthia, I lost some things very dear to me... zwei bucker! (Two Books). I left two of my favorite books on the airplane. While there is still a slim chance I may recover them, I am extremely disheartened. I guess it happens, but das kotzt mich an! (That sucks!)

Nonetheless, our stay thus far has been great. Cynthia is exploring and eating pastries so she is happy. This then means I am happy. My office is great and the department is really nice. I will be able to get some good work done there. I want to share a few pics from our stay thus far. This is a pic from the Castle at the University of Mannheim, which is the largest castle in all of Europe. It is huge and has some historic features and art as well as some really high-tech gadgets for students. I will definitely do some work there from time to time. Additionally, it is right across the street from our apartment. Gute Absicht? (Great view huh)


Here is my office sign!














Ich bin angeregt! (I am excited)
















Here is the view from my office. It over looks the Rhein River and a large industrial area.







As we were out exploring, we noticed some intriguing things. There will always be people singing for Jesus!














And homeless people singing for the Lord too! (Look on the right of the pics)

Mom, while we didn't find Nonee's, Naana's African Market will have to do. I bet we can find some good stuff there!









And I couldn't help it. This was from the plane. Doo rags are everywhere and will forever be in style. It was a long plane ride. hee hee! Until next time jungen und manchen (boys and girls). Tschus! (Talk to you later)
