My German colleagues had been very kind in scouting out a place for me to live and it was my first destination upon arriving in Tauber (I learned, to my great relief, that they shorten the name for casual use). I now live on a mountain top in a building with Olympic-hopeful fencers. (The German Olympic training center for fencing is in this little town and the apartment building is owned by the center to house the team, plus me). Here is what I was faced with:
My new address
So prestigous
The neighborhood
My patio
Welcome home
Way nicer than the brownstones
Breakfast nook/dining corner
Bedroom, bathroom
I could totally start a German version of The Hills
Die Berge, Mondays, 10:00, when The Hills should be on
When I needed a break from unpacking, I took a walk around the neighborhood. My backyard turns out to be a mountaintop nature preserve with a bunch of trails.
To the summit!
Very convenient for late-night confessions
There's Tauber
Not a bad view

Wow Stephen! It looks like you are hooked up! I am kind of jealous, however, I don't think I would do very well in Germany since I don't speak a lick of German. :) I am excited to see how things go with you! Denison is still the same old same, however we did just have an apocalyptic windstorm that cut the power (that we still don't have in a lot of places on campus). Take care!
