DIE WANDERWEGE UND DIE BEOBACHTUNGEN. The Wanderings and Observations of a Paleontology student with a case of wanderlust. Saturday, June 27, 2009. Schwäbisch-Fränkischen Alb: Little teeth and my European Ancestors. We ate lunch on the crest of a hill near the Cro-Magnon cave. Boulders protruded from the field of lush grass and wildflowers creating a gorgeous landscape in want of a henge or barrow. I dangled my feet over the edge of a boulder. We also stopped by a 15 million year old impact crater. W...

DIE WANDERWEGE UND DIE BEOBACHTUNGEN. The Wanderings and Observations of a Paleontology student with a case of wanderlust. Sunday, July 26, 2009. Yes Fulbright, I went to a German Frat Party. But it was all for the new cultural experience. Down came my decorative pictures of famous German buildings. Down came the maps of Europe (gifts from Aunt Karen and Uncle Troy before I left). My room is blank, all dusty white walls and clothing. My return feels starkly real. Honestly, it’s just pizza! With Katie fin...

Fulbrighting in Germany!: October 2008
http://halleyingermany.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. I put on my artistic flair with my artistic friends on Tuesday night for a pumpkin carving extravaganza! Phil made pumpkin soup from scratch with our scooped insides (it was so amazingly delicious! I am having a great week so far and am so ready for my move to my new apartment on Saturday! Halloween is tomorrow, along with vast amounts of packing for the 4th or 5th time in a matter of weeks. Hope all is well! I officially have cast my ballot, with pictures to prove it! Then ha...

Wednesday, February 11, 2009. The Newest Addition to the Espy Fam! Welcome home Miss Savannah! I was so excited to hear the news this past weekend of the latest addition - and she was so cute and well behaved on Skype! Mommy's other little girl. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. I absolutely must own one of these. A Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel Barbie doll! Released this week by Mattel. I absolutely must own this amazing treasure! Look at that perfect Merkel signature bob haircut, pearls, and business suit?

Fulbrighting in Germany!: Deutsches Historische Museem
http://halleyingermany.blogspot.com/2009/07/die-deutsches-historische-museem.html
Monday, July 20, 2009. I loved visiting the German national history museum - my favorite museum in Berlin for sure! From the exhibit of the fall of the Wall. The Wall as an electric chair. One of the most famous images at East Side Gallery. A painting depicting leaders of the Protestant Reformation. A portrait of Calvin. The shovel used to break ground for the Reichstag. A Doctor's mask used to defend against the plague. A Banquet Table from the Berlin Palace. A game table from the Berlin Palace.

DIE WANDERWEGE UND DIE BEOBACHTUNGEN. The Wanderings and Observations of a Paleontology student with a case of wanderlust. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. So, today I bellied up to the shop’s small counter. The owner, roughly seventy years old and wearing a well-loved wool sweater, was tucked behind a table cluttered with non-descript nick-nacks and keys. He seemed surprised someone had actually stopped to make a purchase and was a little flustered about how to begin the transaction, so I took th...Him: Yes, I...

Ashlan in Deutschland: A life-changing experience
http://ashlaninde.blogspot.com/2009/07/life-changing-experience.html
Sunday, July 5, 2009. Please bear with me – this will probably be a very long entry.). I know, I know - I exaggerate frequently. I’m sure that most of my close friends and family rolled their eyes at the title of this post and perhaps not without reason. I am acutely aware of my not-so-sparingly-used ability to categorize nearly every excellent meal, trip, photograph, piece of chocolate, knitting project, whatever as being “in the top five in my life.”. Shane, me and Alex. Alex, Shane, beer. Group shot o...

DIE WANDERWEGE UND DIE BEOBACHTUNGEN. The Wanderings and Observations of a Paleontology student with a case of wanderlust. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Adéu Barcelona, Hola Madrid! Of the final day in Barcelona and a preview of Shane's and my wandering through Madrid. We first walked to the Hospital de Sant Pau, a series of Neo-Gothic buildings constructed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner with emphasis on vibrant colors and plenty of light for the patients. The problem came when the hospital had to be brought up ...
