Life is precious! - Leben ist kostbar!

This post might be a little jumbled - I apologize in advance.

My plan was to post about my last week in Tübingen. I moved out of my apartment yesterday. It was quite emotional - I lived there for the past six years and I love my roommates. We have made many very happy memories in that apartment.

Well, that was my plan anyway. 

My parents came with two cars and a trailer yesterday to help. On the way back to my parents house, after we had packed everything in the two cars, I drove one car with my mom and my dad drove the other with the trailer. 

On the highway we had an accident. Everybody is fine, nobody was hurt, but it was a miracle! A motorcycle crashed into our car. It all happened so fast.

Geographical Center - Geographischer Mittelpunkt

Today is the 60th birthday of Baden-Württemberg, the state I (still) live in. How funny is it, that I went to the  geographical center of Baden-Württemberg yesterday? So, my post for the day is in accordance with the birthday of my state.

The geographical center is right here in Tübingen, but I have never been there before. So, finally, my running partner, Edith, took me there on our run yesterday.

It is actually quite beautiful. The center itself isn't very spectacular, as you can see, it is a stone monument,  but it is surrounded by a little forrest and there is a little stream, which passes it. 

The forrest is called Elysium. It lays in the "Käsenbach"-valley.  It is so quiet that you could forget that you are actually in the middle of a city. We could only here some birds singing, the purl of the little stream, and a woodpecker pecking.
