Heidelberg on a Sunday
Jun. 3rd, 2007 07:34 pmIt's quite a dramatic difference on a Sunday night vs. Saturday. Most stores are closed, but all the cafés are open. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shoujo_mallet says it is because of Germany's strict opening laws. I'm just kind of annoyed I can't pick up a liter of the delicious apple soda they have here.
It was very strange dropping Erin off at her dorm. Very much wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am. I lugged her bags up to the 3rd floor, she kissed me, and off I went. I know she'll have a great time here. I guess I feel sorry now for my parents when they dropped me off at RIT. Sudden release and—I suppose—relief. The latter because I've accomplished my one obligation to someone else here: Get Erin to her dorm on time, in one piece, and with all her luggage. Now all I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do tomorrow on my own until we can meet for dinner or something.
Today we went to The Schloss which was really nifty. We got to ride the Funincular railway up to it. The tour was excellent. Yesterday we walked along Philosopherweg which was really pretty.
I've gotta go: public terminal and all.
Love &c.

Erin hit most of the major points I wanted to discuss. I've been enjoying navigating a new subway system, but I'd like more interconnections, please.
As Erin says, internet has been few and far between, but survivable, when we get it. So long as I keep typing correctly with a QWERTZ keyboard...
Oh, how I love that I can ensure my home machine stays up to date via Java SSH applets.
Erin's both better and more dedicated at learning German, but I'm usually better at figuring pronounciation than she.
Here at the Internet Cafe, we're limited to IE on ancient NT machines that apparently don't like it when you try to switch to IE windows that have not finished loading yet. Also just about every screen is fuzzy with what I presume is 50 Hz noise. But it is better than all the hotspots that don't work.
We both miss 24-hour transit.
See y'all later!
