Yeah, It's been awhile. I guess I'm just keeping myself busy. I visited the Neuschwanstein Castle on Friday. That was sweet (other than the 2 mile climb up a mountain.) The views were amazing and the castle was super cool. I learned a lot of history and also met some awesome people. Sunday I went to the English Garden. Most likely my favorite place in Munich. It's the largest in the world so it took me the better part of a day to walk it. Rivers and huge open fields, ducks, dogs, little kids. Pretty much everything I love. It really reminded me of home. Most of Europe is buildings and streets so it was nice to get back to some nature. I needed some fresh air in my life. There's even a lake that you can rent boats on.
Work has been going well. I'm now working with a woman from Latvia. She's really nice and is a important museum worker in her country. My research is coming along as well. I may start writing next week.
Other than that, nothing to really tell. I guess I'm finally settled in to my surroundings.
Also, Alex, D.J., and Kristi are coming to visit me this weekend. I'm more than excited. I've already booked a Beer Challenge tour and have a mental list of things I can't wait to do with them. It will definitely be the highlight of my month.
This is a picture of the institute now and back in the 40s when it was turned into the Central Collecting Point for artwork after the plunder of the Nazis.
