When I arrived in Munich (having become used to the 90-100 degree weather in greece) it was raining and about 60 degrees... I of course was wearing shorts and a light t-shirt... I went to marienplatz where I was hoping to meet up with my roommate but I guess he hasn't gotten my emails yet so I got stuck waiting for nothing... I did however see a picture that is normally only in children's book drawings - there is this castle-esque looking building in marienplatz and the rain cleared up just long enough for a giant double rainbow to emerge in the sky right over the castle building... it was quite a sight... and definitely made hanging out there worth it. I do have to say it is definitely nice to be in a place where you can get an hour of internet for only 1 euro again!

From: jvidar@usc.edu Subject: First update... Date: July 3, 2002 5:41:33 AM PDT First of all, forgive me if there are a lot of typo's because the european keyboard is completely different from the american qwerty one! Europe is awesome! We are in Brussels right now at an internet cafe and just spent the day walking around seeing the sites of the city. Its been raining hard all day and unfortunately our umbrellas aren't very strong... So far we have managed to get lost and have to ask directions only about 20 times! But everyone is incredibly nice here and have been very helpful. We leave tonight for amsterdam... Jon
