Greetings to all from pretty much the most easterly city in Germany, right smack next to the Oder river, about 9 hours away from my home in the West..... I will post pics maybe tomorrow. I am here on a business trip and the big appointment is tomorrow.
About 2 hours ago, I just walked across a bridge to Poland and then back.
No passport control, no guards, no checks.... lol... just a nice walk.

All you gotta do is load them up to your computer, then join Photobucket (or some other site that allows you to keep your pictures) and then you can post them from there. It's not that hard, if I was able to do it I'm sure anyone can.
Greetings from the city of Görlitz, where I had an important business appointment today, one that went well. I will know in a couple of weeks how well it went.
I took some pics and made a couple of small films, thought that friends here might like them.
This is a memorial in a park close to where I've been staying:
The Germans call that a "Mahnmal" (memorial - warning)
Here is the inscription:
"Die Toten mahnen die Lebenden"
"The dead warn the living"
This is a German sportwear and sportsgear business:
"Muskelkater" doesn't have the meaning you think:
Muskel = Muscle
Kater = male cat
Muskelkater means the sore muscles some people get after workouts...
There are some impressive buildings in Görlitz:
The Church of Mary
And up-close:
Former Staatstheater, being converted into businesses.
The modern theater in Görlitz:
A flower clock on the lawn of the Theater:
This one is quite interesting:

And from the back-side:
You can tell you are in a former East-German city when you see a street or a square with this name:

i love germany. can't wait to go back. last time we were in europe we did something similar. walked from austria to slovakia. it was amazing to see the stark differences from the bavarian style houses and buildings on one side of the river and the non descript block appartments typical of the communist era on the other.
