Wissenschaftler ausser Atem

Here are some pictures of me and my running team from the relay-marathon. Here we are before the start of the race. Clemens (far right) ran 12K in a good time. Patricia (red coat) was our team leader and as "coach" was there to make sure we didn't wimp out.

A nice bonus is that I now Ihave a running shirt emblazoned with my running nick-name: Speed Weasel.

Toy Town Berlin

There is a website for the expat community in Germany called "ToyTown". I don't know what that name is supposed to refer to, but I guess some towns are so cute that one could imagine that this country was designed as one big LEGO theme park.

Sometimes I can imagine the trains I see rolling along between rolling hills are just a grown-up version of those miniature train sets. So which is a charicature of the other? I never understood the appeal of that hobby until I came here.

Anyways, Christine is off to Berlin this weekend to check out an apartment. Here is a smurf-sized view of Berlin:
