Last week was my last week in Dresden. I left on Thursday to stay with my sister and brother-in-law at their house in southwestern Germany for a little over a week before I head back to the U.S.! Since I got this scholarship through the American Chemical Society to come here, part of the deal is that I write a paper (a scientific paper, as if it were to be published, although it won't actually be published) and make a poster to present at the ACS Fall National Meeting in August. My internship technically ends this Friday, but my advisor and my Ph.D. student/mentor are fine with me working on the paper and poster from my sister's place.
This is Judith and me; she's been basically in charge of me for my stay in Germany and helped me plan and execute my experiments. I'm holding a tweezer with one of the titanium samples we worked with all summer. Anyone who's been working on the project for any amount of time is a pro with a tweezer.

This weekend my sister and I took a train to Paris (only 2 1/2 hours away!) on Saturday morning and came back Sunday night, so it was a pretty quick trip. The first day we saw Notre Dame, then had a nice long relaxing dinner, then went on a cruise on the river and saw the Eiffel tower all lit up. Sunday we spent all day at d'Ordsay Museum - we decided to go there instead of the Louvre; it's smaller and has more impressionist artwork, like Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Van Gogh, etc., etc., etc. (it was still gigantic). I'd really like to go back and spend a little more time there, sometime in the future.
