The Short Bus

Yeah, that's right, we took the short bus to Hannover yesterday. Our driver drove like a maniac, and no one, including Ashley and me, could fit in the seats in the back. But visiting the vet school and the clinics was really neat. They were old buildings but huge and very interesting. And seeing the machine that could identify a cow by its teat pattern and then milk it, all without human direction or intervention, was amazing. We also had some good barbeque! I enjoyed the cow clinic, mostly because of the veterinarian and also because seeing a guy cut into a standing cow and proceed to stick his entire arm up to his armpit into the cavity... wow. The experiences we are having on this trip are amazing.
