Netherlands
Just finished a great week traveling through different parts of the Netherlands for fun and work.
We started off in Maastricht where we staid with our friends Yuri and Steve and their beautifully renovated home. we learned about the history of Limburg, a small catholic enclave with their own language in the very South of the country, so small that if you start running you are crossing the Belgian border within some 15 minutes. We also saw a lot of very interesting pieces of remodeling of old cloisters, e.g. into a hotel, an archive or even a bookshop.
After stops in Eindhoven, Rotterdam, and Den Haag then some days in beautiful Amsterdam again. Meeting up with AC friends (Eric, Michiel, Mirenchu was there) and making new friends.
It's Raining Men in Munich
Unfortunately, for the organizers of the 2007 CSD and for visitors like us, it is raining cats and dogs today in Munich, making all the planned outdoor activities very unattractive indeed.
Juan and I went to the beautiful 'Mueller'sche Volksbad', an Art Deco public bath similar to its famous sibbling in Budapest, but just a few steps away from John and Salih's place where we are staying. We went to the Roman-Irish steam bath and took a swim in the
large swimming hall.
Back from a Terrific Reunion
Just returned from a terrific reunion of my high school
Atlantic College in Wales. It was great to re-connect with so many interesting and smart people from all around the world.
Attending together with Juan I also realized how privileged I have been to attend this United World College school in 11th Century, Hearst-upgraded St Donats Castle at the Atlantic seashore of the Bristol Channel.
