Hannover photo safari, introduction

I am hereby beginning a series of posts called Hannover Photo Safari (HPS).

Why did I choose this name? It sounds better than "a lot of pictures of statues and art work around town". But that's basically what it is. I went around Hannover on a cold day hunting for statues and public art works to photograph, with the goal of knowing what they are all about.

I also wanted to call it a safari so that it sounds more exotic, and tropical. It was a cold and snowy day when I went out there. I think my pinky froze to the camera. However, it was -5 Farenheit in St Paul earlier this week, so I am certainly not complaining. -5 Celsius is a lot better.

Brian reminded me as I debated whether I should go out walking around town on that chilly day, "you used to be a Minnesotan."

About Me

My photo
Thanks for coming to my blog. It started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and now has become an ongoing project. I'm an American living in Germany and trying to travel whenever I can. I write about my experiences as an expatriate (the interesting ones and the embarrassing ones), and about my travels. There are some recurring characters in this blog, particularly my husband Brian and several of our friends. The title comes from the idea that living in a foreign country means making a lot of mistakes. So the things you used to do easily you now have to try over and over again. Hopefully, like me, you can laugh at how idiotic it feels. If you have happened upon my blog, then welcome. Knowing that people are reading what I write makes me keep going. Feel free to write comments or suggestions for future posts.
