I have just begun a 1-year postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, which is located in Seewiesen, a tiny town about forty minutes south of Munich. This mecca of scientists from around the world is located deep within the Bavarian countryside. So it seems very fitting that we are renting an apartment from a nearby farmer. When Björn arranged this housing for us (a “farmhouse flat” as he described it), we were not expecting an actual working farm. However, it is very much an active farm, complete with cows…
…rabbits…
…horses…
…and a maypole!
OK, so I guess maypoles aren’t typically found on American farms. But they seem to be everywhere in Bavaria.
We have the attic apartment. The upper balcony opens off our living room.
It’s bright, sunny, and spacious…
…with a playroom for the Wren’s toys…
…and a (rather small) kitchen sink for her baths.
There is even a family dog, Dixie, who is really sweet and makes us miss Tulip all the more.
