As already mentioned, we spent much of our weekend visiting the Hafengeburtstag and trying to dodge the rain. My favorite sight of the weekend actually didn't have much to do with the ships, but was in the middle of the festivities -- on Sunday, we took our first trip under the Elbe River through the Alter Elbtunnel, a wonder of early 20th-century engineering. Here are some pictures from the weekend, with a little narrative.
Other than that, there wasn't too much of note -- Shelby and I went a book importer's store just off the Mönckebergstraße and went crazy, buying four (English-language) books -- she bought two novels, I bought a couple of histories (one of candy, one of the Tour de France).
