I went to Germany

Here's some pictures. There's a lot so I hope you have high speed.

Nighttime building

Sunset

Cool ceiling in Leipzig University Library

Snail on handcrafted gate handle

Typical street

Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology
(where the conference was)

Crazy mirror elevator in my hotel
(you can kinda see me)

Bach's grave (I think.)

Gold plated church thing

Cathedral where Bach played a bunch of concerts

Hauptbanhof - Central train station

Picture out of the vandalized train window of the area outside Leipzig (its very flat)

So I went to Germany for 3 days, gave a talk (which went well) and then came home to Montreal in the snow and slush. That part was depressing. I wish I spoke more German, I felt an idiot, especially since people assumed from my last name that I would speak German. If I see you in person I might tell you some anecdotes.

We're here for a good time, not a long time

And its going to get a little longer.

I have lots of things to post about, lots of picture and little anecdotes (although I am a terrible story teller, so maybe the anecdotes aren't as good as I would hope). And I will get to all that, eventually. Its that stressful time of the year and I feel like crap on top of it. So when I finally get back, I'll tell you about going to the sugar shack, about Germany and about the crazy travelling-ness of my summer. Seriously, I'm going to be all over the place. But for now, I just share this comic. So so true. How many times do we succumb to such flawed logic?
