Ok so that first evening I was really happy to be here, but it's changed back and forth since.

Can't believe so many days have passed already. The first day, went to the airport for a while, then went out and about a couple nearby towns (Meersburg and Ravensburg). Was nice to see a little bit of the area and a couple castles. But not that nice. Cold. The next day, spent most of the day waiting at the airport, then finally had a chance to do the main work I came here for, and discovered I couldn't really do anything at all. The cable is female, the old part had a male connector obviously but the new part has a female connector. Female and female can't mate though sometimes it's hot to watch them try. (it's a joke!) So Munich office will make a gender changer after the long weekend and maybe there'll be time to install/test, maybe not. Means no real work till tuesday. Good friday the weather was blowing snow and rain and cold, kindof lousy, though we visited Ulm and saw a crazy church, the Ulmer Münster! Spent the rest of the day in the hotel, trying to do some programming. Was feeling lousy and wishing I had made my return ticket sooner, I'm definitely ready to come home for a bit.

Next day really redeemed everything, the weather was sunny and less cold, went to Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein (palaces). The drive out there was beautiful with snowy hills and fields, and the palaces were crazy. A really good day. It was snowing on the drive back.

Now that's done, today looks kindof lousy again and probably nothing to do being easter sunday. Maybe I'll sit at the hotel programming to justify being here on the company's expense, or maybe I'll drive into austria and switzerland just to say I've been there. Tomorrow I'll make my way to munich and see what there is to see there, spend the night, then see how things go in the munich office on tuesday, if things go well (I kindof hope they don't) I'll drive back to friedrichshafen, install the stuff, and try to do testing, then drive back to munich for the night and fly back home in the morning.
