My first overnight business trip in Deutschland

I went to a "Neutrinos and Beyond" meeting at Universität Tübingen over the last two days. The meeting started around 16:00 yesterday, so I did not have to leave Karlsruhe with my colleagues until the afternoon. Tübingen is an old German town not too far away from Stuttgart. The streets in the old town are so narrow that most passenger cars can barely pass. After a brief session at the university we checked into our hotel, which is only a block from the fabulous town hall. The meeting organizers reserved the Boxenstop for a group tour and dinner for the meeting attendees. The sports car museum has a number of interesting vehicles, such as this Lloyd. After another day of talks at the university, we beat the Friday afternoon crowds at train stations to make our way back to Karlsruhe.
