Trier: University in Snow I

2006-03-03

This was a really snowy Friday! This website [link] says that on the next morning the snow was 21 cm deep in Trier. Since I absolutely love snow, I was probably laughing madly the entire time :muahaha: Even now I have a diabolical smile on my face as I am looking at these photographs

There was (another?) Friday when the complete traffic to the university broke down. Practically every few meters you could see a bus in the roadside ditch. For a long time, my friend Gerry and I used to reminisce about what we called the "Freaky Friday"

On Bing Maps you can see my point of view [link] . You need to click "Turn right" and then "Turn left" again, for some reason it does not load instantly. We are currently looking at the "V-Gebäude" ("V Building") [link] , the "DM-Gebäude" ("DM Building") is behind us.
