First week in Germany

I have settled in here fairly quickly, and have been pretty good about establishing a work routine...it's actually the same as it is in Seattle: sitting at my computer, sporadic ranting at a cat. Alex has been doing some experiments, so we haven't really been doing anything hugely exciting. However, I do have access to one of the institute's image processing computers, which is nice because I can run some (boring but necessary) things that I have been meaning to run while still working at home.

The weather has been great...today we are going to try and purchase bicycles from a highly-recommended secondhand shop. If we're successful, reports on a wholesome country outing will follow...
