Ben and I both have this week off, so I sharpened my photography skills with the extra time. Showing his manliness, Ben is attempting to repair two bicycles that were left for us here at the Stift. After fixing one of the bikes, we checked out four bicycles shops around town to compare prices for just buying another used one. Unfortunately, at €150 for the cheapest used bikes, Ben will probably have to fix both of the tires on the other bicycle himself!
Above, is a University building near the center of town. It is the highlight of campus architecture. The rest of campus appears to be a collage of various clashing styles from the second half of the 20th century. To the right, is the oddest sculpture/statue I have ever seen. It juts out of the ground about 5° off of vertical. To me, it resembles the green stick of clay out of which Gumby was molded.
On our way home from grocery shopping, we stopped to look at the memorial to the people of Göttingen who died in the Holocaust. When looking toward the sky from under the sculpture, you can see the star of David that is echoed on the ground below.
