Germany Trip Day 7

Thursday afternoon we went to the Kunst Hall, the art museum just on the other side of the river. They had an extensive exhibit of an Austrian artist, Alfred Hrdlika. His works are a little dark (to put it mildly) for my tastes. Information about the artist can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hrdlicka. I think most of the other students thought likewise. No pictures allowed in the museum.





Here you can see the Kunst Hall in the right foreground, with the vertical Alfred Hrdlika banner on the corner pointing towards the viewer. Behind the Kunst Hall is a building that once was a brewery and now is a multistoried restaurant. We had dinner on the roof patio restaurant. The weather has been incredible, and last night was no exception. It has been pleasant to have warm afternoons without oppressive humidity. I had a wheat beer, brewed locally, now have to find some coasters with that brand. The Germans DO drink their beer cold, although not ice cold.


This is Comburg, shot from the rooftop patio.


Dinner, dessert actually. The woman, Danielle, in the forground is one of our class, although she is in the other section. She is from Bordeaux. The other woman is a local German woman at whose table we ate. Some other students in the background.

The Solebad, or salt bath. We're taking our 'field trip' there tomorrow. Bringing bathing suits, and relaxing in the hot salt water spa. I should sleep real well.
