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)

Arial view of Leipzig


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.

Hey,

Great Pics. I'm a little ticked off you didn't take me with you.

Looking forward to la radiotet.
