Wow, cool pic. I saw a huge old functioning steamer in Braunschweig, Germany, chugging out of the station once. It was huge and more beastlike than a modern electrical or diesel engine, but at the same time kind of romantic. It was like being in a movie. I fell in love with europe years ago on a summer trip like the one you went on here. I've visited several times since then, improving my german and making friends along the way. Unfortunately, I havent made an opportunity to live or study there yet. I often lose sight of those dreams. But reading your journal is inspirational, because you have made a dream reality. I hope you can make livejournal updates when you get there. Where will you be living, with a host family or at a college campus?

I'm staying at the dorm at the University, and hopefully one day will have my own place. It's unreal that I should be leaving in a week.
