Which came first?

I was making meatballs today for lunch, and as I was taking the eggs out of the carton, I noticed that there was a website printed on the carton where one can watch the hens that laid the eggs in action on a webcam. www.eier-der-zukunft.de Go ahead, you know you want to watch!
Most of the food we buy here is produced in Germany (excepting our Ecuadorian bananas and Chilean grapes), and the labels proudly proclaim it. We didn't decide to brave the bus for a trip to the animal park, but I did find out from a neighbor that we can actually walk there, as long as we don't mind doing some hiking through the forest in the steep hills behind our apartment. She said it is only about a half an hour walk. When we go, we'll certainly use that mode of travel.Instead, we hung around the neighborhood, finding a good climbing tree, visiting the market, and playing with newfound friends. There are many mathematicians staying in our apartment building. So far I know of mathematical neighbors from Poland, Norway, Pakistan, China, and the US. All are visiting the university here. Dave got an interesting wakeup call this morning - his hotel in Paderborn was evacuated. There was excavating being done at the train station for remodeling, and an unexploded WWII bomb was unearthed. Apparently this is a pretty common occurence there.

Same dress, same smile, same blog entry. We are on four days and three nights of wear. Still looks clean.

Slip sliding away.

The climbing tree.

The climbing wall. Sam and Katie can't resist walking the retaining wall every time we go up or down this path. Today was the first time Katie conquered both stretches of the wall in both directions. In other Katie conquests, Sam taught her how to use the mouse on the computer, so he now has competition for computer time. Katie is all over pbskids.org.
