rabit!

Yesterday marks the day of the furthest north in germany i have been. i guess i could say europe, because do airports really count?
Anyways i was in Hannover. a 2 hour trainride northish. The weather as usually around here sucked. quite windy, snowy, and cold. not fun for a day of walking around a outside. When we first got there we went on a city tour. it was mildly interesting, but we hurried from place to place because of the cold, so not to many stories or anything. The first place we went was the Rathaus, the new one actually which is 90 years old. so quite new. due to the snow i did not get any good pictures of it. i am sure there are some good ones online. just search for Hannover Rathaus on google images or something... Inside was pretty nice. there were the models of the city that were really neat. from 1689,1939,1945,now. the oldest one had the walled city and all. the 1939 was before the war, 1945 after, the 1945 was really well done in that there was piles of rubble and all dusty looking and just really well done. its hard to see in the pictures i have so i wont bother.
then we walked a bit. i got this picture of two different churches i thought were decent. during the 20 min the sun came out the whole day.

sunny only during time spent looking at churches???

The city tour ended soon after and we had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted. it was cold so we just sat inside an eatery for a while, went to the Apple (mac) store, and then a pub for a few hours. moving from place to place i saw these...

couldnt pass up a picture of the brat man...

sauna anyone?

after a few hours of sitting it was dinner time. we went to a spanish restraunt. since it was a group trip we got dinner paid for! horray! but not drinks. but i decided to spend a bit on the drink and got sanguia (sp) wine, fruit, and sugar? maybe? just a bit of it. it was really quite good. and to eat since i saw kaninchen on the menu. that means rabit. i thought, hey im not paying for it so why not try something new? other than the 10 E to come,(train tickets and dinner which adds up to around 20 E? figure that out.) but i got the rabit, and it was really good. it came with delightful potatoes as well. id highly recomend trying it someday.
we then took the late train back and got to paderborn at 11.
and thats about it.
now i go biking! horray!
