Quick Update- Orientation and Köln

I’m alive! It’s almost midnight here and I just got ‘home’ to Nürnberg from Köln/Cologne (aka the place where there’s a big cathedral and Karneval and that’s about all anyone knows) and the Teaching Assistant orientation (aka how not to get deported from Germany) in Wermelskirchen (aka the middle of nowhere). I spent most of the day running around the Domplatz (cathedral square) in Köln, being accosted by pigeons, and puzzling over a modern art museum.

For now, here are a few pictures- more detailed thoughts about orientation coming this weekend.
