Hannover

After visiting Tim I went to Hannover, the capital of Lower Saxony.  It was a really beautiful and peaceful city.  I stayed there for three days, seeing all the sights.  It was also the Maschseefest while I was there, so of course I visited and had a few beers.  I was trying to upload a photo, but the connection here is so slow i almost fell asleep!  From Hannover I went to Quedlinburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  It is known for its half timbered buildings.  There are over 1400 of them ranging from the 1400's to the Today.  I stayed there for two days and saw as much as I could, then moved on to Weimar.  Weimar was the first home of the Bauhaus school, and the first bauhaus building is here.  Today I will go to see some museums and do a little more sightseeing.
