One of the hundreds of pictures taken at last Saturdays party. I figured it has been a while since I put up a picture of myself… so here you go.

Confession: Last week, a very small group of us snuck into a public swimming pool. It was quite refressing after the very hot and humid weather with lack of A/C. The midnight scenery with mountains, stars, half-moon and the black forest was absoulutely beautiful. Definitely an amazing and serene experience. To enter multiple fences were scaled a rocky river bed was traversed. This is up there with swimming in the Ice Bach at the English Garden in Munich. Perhaps I should buy a swim suit at some point?

This week it has been too cold to do anything like this.

One of a few videos taken in Venice. I need to get my little camera soon so I can get more videos.

Here are a few photos from last weeks trip to Munich.  I wil slowly add more photos to this set.  I traveled to Munich by car on the autobahn and through the black forest with some friends from Freiburg who were traveling back home to visit their family.

You can click on the photo for more info or to open in a new window.

Bächle boat race, originally uploaded by dgallagher.

Two boys racing boats in Freiburgs famous Bächle. These tiny streams run down many of the streets and date back to the middle ages. Local lore says if you fall into one you are destined to mary a Freiburger.

Found on a street sign in Freiburg, Germany

Captured with the iPhone

Here are a few of the photos following the football game I captured on my iPhone. If this is the result of an early win for Germany in the EuroCup on a Sunday night, I can not wait to experience what will occur later. The police permitted the harmless celebrations in the streets for the most part. Perhaps it was because they did not want the situation to escalate. Perhaps it was because they were significantly outnumbered.

We watched the beginning of the game at a bar called Cafe Atlantik and then moved to Eschholzplatz for the second half. The park was wet and muddy due to the sudden downpour earlier in the day. They had food and beer tents set up and benches for the many many people. The crowd afterward was exciting and fun to watch. I look forward to the next Germany match on Thursday.

The full set of photos can be viewed here. Next time I hope to have a superior camera with me.
