This was before the weather turned ugly - it was only slightly chilly. Walking on a dirt path under the pine trees, I experienced a flashback of the first day of high school. Looking at the castle helped me keep it real.

Miramare castle, or walking to class
The first day of class, my roommate Reese and I walked through the Miramare castle grounds to class. The castle was sadly not open at 8 am. Also, since the path literally spirals, we subsequently took the much less scenic route through the tunnel under the gardens.
Trieste, or actually ICTP in Grignano
I arrived Saturday night at my destination, which is about 5 km from Trieste. I was tired at night, but I took pictures when I woke up early in the morning from jetlag.
Pictures from my apartment, including those that I took over the next two weeks follow:
Munich
I flew through Munich airport last Sunday. It looked spiffy inside, and dismal outside. I was there for four hours, mostly spent in the airplane mall. I noticed that most things cost the same number of euros in Europe as dollars in the US. They had a nice paging system to make sure people make it to flights. I tested my pathetic language skills on the said system.
