German picspam #2 - Landau

Actually, this was my day off, as we weren't all needed to oversee the children with the German colleagues. So, since I've ceased to show myself in a bathing suit years ago (out of consideration towards the rest of mankind), I begged off and went with the bus to Landau instead, which is the next moderately big town.

Alas, the weather wasn't the best, so I couldn't make but a few pics. But the town is pretty, I got some DVDs - the director's cut of the original Stargate movie, which is, although I prefer the series, awesome, the whole second season of Stargate - Atlantis, the second season of Buffy, and the entire Raumpatrouille - The Fantastic Adventures of the Spaceship Orion (one of the silliest sci-fi series ever made on this planet, back in 1964, by the Germans). I also got to eat rhubarb cake, which you don't get here, so it was a succes. I'd have stayed all day, had the wether been better, but a shopping spree in rain, with lots of bags already isn't so much fun as the same in sunshine.

Behind the tag are a few pics of the Marketplace of Landau.

That was Landau. Next stop: Hambach Castle and the village of Hambach. Stay tuned!

Apologies

Hey friendslist!
I apologize for the missing comments and encouragements and birthday wishes. After having been out of town (and country) for almost a fortnight, it takes me amazingly long to find my footing at home again.

I haven't forgotten any of you, folks, I'm just completely drowned in That Which Needs To Be Done (TM), and all I could do LJ-verse was putting up some picspam. I'm really sorry, but the older I get, the shorter the days seem to be. It's a strange universe...

And when I'm at it anyway, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, mirasaui and glitterboy1!
