’sometimes you just gotta race’

neither is eye care

THE RACE
FACT: improper technique and sense of direction
Team Sweden
stairway to heaven.. I'm sorry
Stocherkahn rennen, to roughly translate, means to race gondolas. The Fraternities in Tuebingen, as well as other clubs and organizations, race down, around and through the Nekar. The loser (loser amongst the frats specifically) having to drink some sort of fermented concoction being less than pleasant.

Ludwig was a very close friend of Napoleon Bonaparte and in the sincerest form of flattery fashioned himself a smaller replica of Napoleon’s prized Versailles.

I was lucky enough to see all of the bands above, plus a lot more. The only band I was really hoping to see in Germany was the Whitest Boy Alive, but despite not seeing them I came away having seen 20-30+ bands. I’d like to think I got my money’s worth, even if i wont be going to Bumbershoot, MFNW or my cousin’s neighbors grad party..
It was a lot of fun. Surprising good food. Great Friends. Great Music. But the whole weekend I just wanted to get to the airport. I’ll put up some German perspective photos from Katharina.

it is late and i’m melting, i’m home but i’ve been here
..for almost two weeks now and i haven’t really touched this. I had thought that my return would mean, simply, the end of my blog foray. However, there are still a lot of pictures from the trip which i have not uploaded, jokes that i haven’t butchered and people i haven’t thanked. no promises, by any means, that it will get done soon, if at all, but know i’ve at least contemplated it.
And with that:

Calvin and HOBBES
dare?
so, my last update whilst in Germany, naturally so it is about Austria.
I’ll make sure to do a few sentimental thing-a-ma-bobs when I get back to the states, but just know that this trip has been better than I could have imagined.
Tübingen (approx. 4 months) – Stuttgart (approx. 10 minutes) – Paris (approx. 1 hour) – London (approx. 5 days) – Mur’kah (undecided)

first run in with Austrian Bier, and Lari's ginger ale
Austrian version of Kaese Spaetzle
(almost) plate sized Wiener Schnitzel and Potato Salad
One of the best meals of my entire European Adventure ('Bier Brats' and a dumpling)
Never took a picture of my kaiserscharrn, but this is what it looked like. Try and guess how it tasted.
