Update

Work's been going well so far.  Over the past day or two, Haris (French intern) and I prepared a report and some research about commodities for our current boss, Frau Heiden.  Frau Heiden had a meeting with a journalist today, and made use of our research.  It was pretty close, we were doing our last edits and information updates right up until the deadline.  But after the meeting, she seemed pretty pleased, and she really seemed to like my idea of comparing historical commodity price to gold prices.  Ok, enough of that.

I took some pictures the other day, and thought I'd put them up here.

This is the Rathaus, or town hall, in Hamburg.

Here's a shot of the area in front of the Rathaus.  I didn't really do it justice, so I'll have to go back and take some better pictures.

Here's where I live.  Doris, my Vermieterin, lives next door in an attached house, and her brother lives in this house on the first floor.  Marian and I share the upstairs, and those windows you see up on the 2nd floor (1. German floor) are for my room.  There's a little doorway from the hallway that can take you on to the "balcony."

Here's another wonderful invention from Germany to finish this one up:

Yum!
