Sail away, sail away, sail away...

Well, Day 1 was gliding... and Day 2 was sailing. Not too bad of a start, no? Our department managed to get up early, despite staying up late talking, playing games, drinking cocktails, and getting into spats with the hotel manager (the same one who thought I was Austrian).

We went to the Nordsee and spent several hours sailing, learning how to operate the sail boat, and just soaking in the sights. It really was beautiful...

I drove by myself today on the Autobahn for the first time, and hit about 170 km per hour... which is a litte over 100 miles, hehe. Crazy Germans. Here's a picture of the car I'm renting for the next month or so... its a little silver VW polo: http://www.autobischof.ch/images-2004/vw-polo-fun-2004-800x464.jpg.
