Munich

It cost me ten euros to go to the ER and get my mysteriously sore foot x-rayed before I left Würzburg. It turns out that I’m just a baby and that there is nothing broken in my foot. Even so, I was glad to get an x-ray, because Würzburg University’s chair of physics was once held by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen–whom I’m sure you’ll all remember as the man who discovered X-rays in 1895.

I picked up the parents yesterday. Today we’re walking around Munich. We already have the Glockenspiel and Hofbrauhaus under our belts.

Mom decided to wake up at 5:30am this morning. There was some confusion in her jet-lagged mental clock, and also the clock on her cellphone, thus she thought it was appropriate to wake us all up and have breakfast at 6am. Because of this, they’re now having a nap.

I’m looking forward to Salzburg, but also to America. I crave car-driving. It’s a very American experience to drive alone in my car, listening to my music, going where I want. The opposite of European mass transportation.

Also I look forward to hearing all the Gainesville news that I missed. I’m sure Amanda will fill me in on which trees fell on which mailboxes during the last rainstorm–or whatever else made the cover of the Gainesville Daily Register this summer.
