Our German House in Darmstadt for a month.
That is not our convertible.
Our dual bathroom sinks. You can
look outside and shave.
Two 220 lines at the sinks.
The Rhine River as we landed
in Frankfurt.
Sunday we flew from Chania - Greece to Frankfurt - Germany on Ryan Air. It was $86 one way and too three hours. At the airport we caught a short bus ride to Darmstadt - and then a cab to our house.
For the next month we are staying at this house in a residential area next to campus. It is provided by the University for Lulu. It is very nice - but the exact opposite of our place in Greece. That house was in the center of a tourist mecca - with the harbor out our window and tons of places to eat and shop. Here - the silence was deafening last night as we slept from 9 PM to 7 AM. We quickly realized that unless we got a car - we would be stranded. We walked 4.4 miles to buy groceries and go to McDonalds for breakfast. So we just rented a car for the month - for $600. It is a VW and included full insurance. We pick it up tomorrow.
OUR GERMAN HOUSE
Lulu is a visiting professor. We are staying in the International Guest House. It is covered by Lulu's contract. It is very nice - but plain compared to Greece. We have a bedroom - a living room - a bathroom. We share a common kitchen and lounge area - although we have not seen anyone in there yet. The Guest House is surround by big maple trees. It is a well-off neighborhood.
Nancy is scheduled for 3 campus presentations and also to represent at the convention in Berlin. The rest of the time we can tour. This is a nice hub in the center of things.
It is 85 here at 2 PM - clear skies - birds are chirping. I am surprised it is this hot for being 50 degree north latitude.
We are sleeping very well over here. Jet lag has not been the issue at all on this trip.
Ryan Air was $86 from Greece. Walk on - walk off.
