Germany

My main reason for being in Berlin was to present on the work of the Content Authenticity Initiative to my fellow digital identity professionals. My slot was on Wednesday after the lunch break.

On Day 3 of this trip, it was time to head to Berlin. I slept in a bit, which left only a little time for exploring along the way.

And now we are at the last stop on this trip.

As promised, I moved on from the UK to Germany today.

So happy to report that the weather is much nicer here in Salzburg.

I’ve spent most of the last 24 hours saying “How could you not love this?” to myself.

Amsterdam was at its best: perfect weather, everyone out and enjoying the canals and the cafés.

Alas, it was time to move on. This afternoon I took the train to Cologne.

Farewell, Hamburg, it has been very good getting to know you.

There is something very charming about walkable European cities.

Dear Seattle / Fremont, Hamburg / Eimsbüttel sees your once-a-year naked cycle parade and raises you one permanently-installed naked cycle sculpture. Across from a school, even.

Seen while walking around our neighborhood today …

This weekend, we took an afternoon tour of the Außenalster, a lake in the heart of the city of Hamburg.

We’re celebrating the July 4 long weekend in classic all-American style … with a big road trip. Except we went road tripping to Sweden.

We moved to a new neighborhood (Eimsbüttel) today. The title of this page might suggest it’s a rough neighborhood, but it’s actually quite nice.

Walking around Hamburg this week, we’ve been treated to some impressive works of street art.

This afternoon, we went for a short drive in the countryside.

A few fun photos from the office and my commute this week …

There is a centuries-old traditional market near my office that has run every Sunday for centuries.

Last weekend, coming back from Berlin, we took a detour through the town of Crivitz.

We took a quick trip to Berlin this weekend.

Just a couple of fun photos from around our neighborhood in Hamburg today.

Another day, another beautiful walking commute …

Our first weekend in Germany and what do we do? We leave and go for a weekend vacation to Copenhagen. Just to make things extra spicy, we crossed one more border and found lodging in Malmö, Sweden.

I’ve arranged to work extra-remotely this summer. Adobe has kindly arranged for me to work with a team from its office in Hamburg, Germany, and for my family to tag along.

I’ve been visiting our office in Hamburg, Germany, for this past week.
