All of Lufthansa's jets seemed to have the specially decorated football nose - this one is at Munich airport where i had my stopover from Dulles to Hannover.

Alexi (closest), his uncle Horst (middle) and aunt Karin (farthest) and I went for a hearty bike ride through the countryside surrounding Hannover the day we arrived, which really helped cure the jetlag!

These bike-riding pictures were taken by a trained professional. Do not attempt... without good health insurance. (I actually didn't fall off, though I did have a close call or two.)
