I had such good intentions to blog last week about our continuing orientation adventures.  So many witty comments and deep insights to share, you know.  But instead I spent a lovely weekend at an Irish-English wedding on the gorgeous west coast of Ireland.

And now all you are going to get is this lame list of orientation activities and a link to some photos:

* A meeting with Horst Naaß, the mayor of Bonn.

* A visit to the Hochschulrektorenkonferenz.

* A tour of Deutsche Welle, Germany’s version of the BBC or Voice of America.

* An evening at the Russian Federation’s General Consulate.

* A day-long bus ride to Berlin.

* A bus tour of Berlin.

* A tour through a modern Chinese art installation.

Better luck next week!
