Dog Walking


Well it's a beautiful day in Leipzig. Started out with a crystalline blue sky but now we have a few clouds. The photo is taken from a bridge along the walk I took Hector on today; just a short distance from our flats. In the opposite direction is the largest park in Leipzig which we look forward to exploring this afternoon. The Headmaster's assistant told us it's possible to bike for hours in the park with its many bike trails. This will be fun when our bikes arrive in the air shipment scheduled for delivery in about 10 days.

Later today we are going to a free concert in the Augustus Platz which, according to brochures, is the largest square in Germany. It was the sight of a massive but peaceful demonstration in the 1980's which helped catalyzed the fall of the Berlin wall and set the stage for German reunification.
