TübingenYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. I am currently in Tübingen (Württemberg, Germany). It´s a nice place, even if it is rather hot and humid. I don´t mind the heat, I mind the lack of violent, cold winds blowing off the Atlantic Ocean. Clearly Capetonian. Anyway, I´ve been working at the site of Vogelherd since I got here, which is nice. But it would have been nicer if they´d finished on time. Currently it consists of moving enormously heavy bags of stone down a hill so that we can empty them into the holes. This is done for safety reasons. Pity the people that have to dig them out next year when they return to excavate some more! German keyboards suck! WHY would you put the z where the y is and the y where the z is? And moving the question mark? Whose bright idea was that? This makes typing rather difficult! Anyway, sometime next week we´ll be moving to Blaubeuren, and the site Hohle Fels. That´ll be better ´cause it´ll be actual excavating. At least, once we´ve done the schlemming (sieving wtih water) of the stuff from Vogelherd, we´ll be excavating. I´m staying with Victoria, who is from Texas, and Maria, who lives here. It´s not exactly in the center of Tübingen, it´s in Lustnau, which was only incorporated into Tübingen in 1934 (Ah, the joys of guidebooks!) Next weekend Victoria and I are planning to go to Ulm, so maybe you will receive an update on that then.... Comment: They're German... (by OOPMan on 2005-06-29 10:31:00)...that's why :-) |
