Matt and Ken's European odyssey

Matt's Pomona College Glee Club Tour, May 16-27, 2006

===================================

First day off the plane and already touring our first castle

Hanging from the ramparts in Eisenach

Three blondes and a Dresden skyline - beautiful

Attempting to break the cultural barrier in a Prague hotel

The incredible "Memorial to the Battle of Nations" (Voelkerschlachtdenkmal) outside downtown Leipzig

Close-up of memorial: Saint Michael (and friends) in full regalia

Prague skyline from vista behind immense Prague Castle

Travel buddies, possibly in Erfurt

Handel surveying his domain (Halle)

Winner? You be the judge

Goethe and Schiller in front of the Weimar National Theater

Oh, those wacky Germans

He's now teaching in South Korea as a Fulbright Scholar. Hail Pomona, Hail.

Adjusting to European sensibilities

Backside of the famous "Thomaskirche" in downtown Leipzig

Surrogate Kenny for the choir tour - same age, same hair, similar voice, studying abroad in Scotland at the same time. At least Kenny's slightly taller.

One of the approximately 1,823 Martin Luther statues scattered throughout East Germany

I'm the king of this town!

The farewell dinner was the first and last time we were allowed alcohol while on tour

"Czechoslovakian Gothic"

Trying our hand at a traditional Czech dance

Is my tie on backwards?

Wonderful traditional Czech dancers a mere two feet from our table

Candid shot of our amazing accompanist, and mustachioed tour bus driver
