Who knew that Hamburg was a beach town? This weekend I went into the city with some fellow schoolmates (Kevin right and Felix left). We walked around some parts of the city, and they showed me some places. We went to the infamous Reeperbahn, although at three in the afternoon, the only thing going on is cleanup from the night before. Maybe I will go back sometime at night. From there we walked by the fishmarket, which opens on Sundays at 5, which I hear is a cool place to go, it's not really that much fish I guess, but kind of an after party for people who spent the night on the Reeperbahn. After that we hit up this beach! There are a handfull of these "beach clubs" once you pass the Harbor in Hamburg.
If you look at if from this view though, it doesn't look as much like a party. The same "beach" from the picture before is right next to the parking lot, overlooking the river and "Blohm und Voss"'s gigantic shipyard.
That's it for now, more stuff when I get more pictures!

Kevin: I was in Hamburg in 1956, but I don't recall any beaches. Clearly I was hanging with the wrong crowd. Keep up the good writing. Fred
Kevin, Are there any celebrations for Octoberfest in Germany?? Do they celebrate Halloween? That has become a hugh celebration in the US. Is school what you thought it might be? Your doodles are quite intricate...grandpa loves to doodle and does it when he is bored in a meeting. You have been in Germany for 2 months now. Is it what you expected? I am interested in some of the customs in Germany. As the holidays approach you will probably know more about their customs i.e. Christmas, Holidays. Let me know about Octoberfest because I am having a dinner party and it will be Octoberfest. I am going on a "weekend to nowhere cruise" It leaves out of NY on Friday afternoon and comes back on Sunday am. I will be with my sisters, my 80 year old aunt who is lots of fun and my cousins and friends. There will be about 15 of us. It is a fun weekend and I am looking forward to it. It is a Norweigen line. I'll tell you about it next time I write. Love, Grandma
