The program has really started to pick up speed. This week we spent everyday traveling. It started with a tour of a research farm on Monday followed by a zoo visit on Tuesday in Cologne. Along with Dr. Wasser’s lectures and German language classes we stayed completely busy. So busy I have had no free time in the day except for lunch. Wednesday and Thursday we traveled to Hannover and stayed the night there; my first hostel experience. In Hannover we toured the medical school and teaching hospital. The most interesting thing by far was watching a lung transplant in swine. We were welcomed there with a BBQ for supper on Wednesday night. After a few beverages we returned to the hostel and resumed consuming beverages. The next day, Thursday, we returned to Dusseldorf in time to repack our bags for a day trip to Cologne and the weekend in Paris. The day trip to Cologne turned out to be very interesting and I wish we had more time to tour the institute which dealt with aerospace medicine and the European Space Agency, very interesting.
Anyways this weekend we are traveling to Paris, which should be a good time. I’ll blog about the weekend later. Till then…..
