Germany trip

I was over at Marc Sigle's studio recently. It's always great to visit his studio. I've made some friends over there and hanging out with them is fun. Turns out Marc even has a student, Lenny, who speaks Klingon and has even been on TV as a consultant about it. Who knew?


   Marc is always a great host and took time out of his schedule to spend a day and we went to Zurich, the capital of Switzerland. Along the way we stopped at Rhienfall, where the water from Lake Constance creates a beautiful waterfall and flows on to become the German Rhine. Zurich is a classic European city and the weather was exceptional for winter. The sky was blue and the weather was warm enough to go without a jacket at times. The snow-covered Alps in the background made for a memorable view.


  The classes I taught were well-received and we did a lot of varied material. Marc's people are coming along and I see improvement in those who are newer black belts and the browns coming close. Thomas Kozitsky from the Dusseldorf area was there and we had some interesting chats. He's an engineer by trade and asks good questions.
     Airport security has been stepped up over there, too. If you're going, get to the airport a little earlier.
All in all, another great trip.
