We´ve arrived. Germany is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen. Munich has only been one night, and I am already in love with it. Schnitzels, German women, the World Cup preparations, and 0.5 litre beers seem to strike a chord within the Oceanographique Exploratory Society. The only thing we´ve encountered on our journeys here is amazingly stereotypical American girls waking us up way too early.
Last we left, t.O.E.S. was headed inland, renting a car, driving through the Tuscan countryside. This mission was accomplished, and we ended up getting lost in the mountainous regions just outside of Milan. After a few hours of driving through winding roads and getting hassled by small town Cameriari, we managed a very enjoyable excursion through the streets of Sienna, with a stop in the outskirts of Badesse.
I accomplished another lifelong dream in visiting film locations when I touched ground in Venice, listening to only John Williams´Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade soundtrack. t.O.E.S. then travelled the waters of Lake Como, studying its water habitat, and even finding a new species; named after the only reader of this blog....Seim´s Fish (as we´ve come to call it) is an endophile Fern Fish. Cartographs of the new species will be noted and published next quarter.
So now we will leave the Captain´s log and journey through the streets of Munich. Berlin next then the Czech Republic. Auf Wetersein...

I don't know if you realize this, but you're tickling my fancy with your stories of Italian driving, German beer gardening and under-water exploration. See you next time.
A fish named after Anton the day after his birthday... how perfectly wonderful!
I'm indescribably jealous of you and your adventures. I hope to read more stories here and perhaps hear them re-told through Anton as the summer progresses.
Have fun!
