Weimar 18 August 2025

I have been in Weimar since 1 August! The time flies and I haven't really done anything. I have been eating and drinking at all my usual places and seeing the people I know who work there. I have also been walking and running in the park almost everyday. I have to say the running has gone better than I thought! One new thing is that I downloaded an app called Joyn onto my Chromebook. It is free and you can stream series and films. So far, I have started watching a series called "das Grosse Backen". It is the German version of the British Baking Show. It is the exact same set-up but one season is only 4 90 minute programs. Tonight I was home from dinner at Texas by 7:30 and booked 4 nights in Dresden. 28 Aug. - 1 Sept. I am staying at the Taschenberger Palais Hotel. I stayed there once before some years ago but in the mean time it has been totally renovated.I thought about staying at the Hilton like I have in the past but there is no way I can get enough nights in this year to remain "gold". And really, it doesn't get you anything.
