3 - Day weekend June 25-27th

The students have three days off now, after so many days together on the bus.  The faculty also went their own ways, getting a little "me" time.

For myself, I spent Friday being domestic. Laundry.  Ironing.  Dishes.  Not as easy when you are not in your home.

Saturday I walked along the river Spree, encountering 2 street markets full of things to pick through.

I found a 20 year old book on the Jewish Museum competition.  Sweet!  This alone made my day, but I also found a metal artist who made some beautiful desk objects.  I bought an amazing little stapler.

Also visited a bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava.  I had dismissed it from a distance, but up close it reveals itself to be nicely fluid and well detailed.

I also did a quick stop at the addition to the German History Museum.  Quite nice.  We are going there as a class next week.


Sunday Some of the students went with me to the Aedes Gallery, an architectural gallery currently with a show on the architects 3XN.
