The 3-legged Octopus?!

Nothing much to report. Have been spending some supremely intellectually challenging days going gaga (not in the raunchy telly type way) and goo-goo with my super adorable niece. Else just walking around nice Berkeley, enjoying the warm weather and watching the odd telly.

Thought I'd just update pictures that should have been due a week back - our trip to the Tripoint - the place the 3 countries (Germany, Netherlands and Belgium) meet. We were whisked there by Kedar who kindly informed us about its existence and drove us there as well. Pics below ...

There was obviously a spot where we were supported by a layer of solid steel ... below. Can also check out our footwear ...

Gaurav and Kedar at the ACTUAL point ...

A single strand of hair flies as we take on the Netherlands ... the funniest thing we thought was the clear distinction between each country ... the German side looks onto neatly organized lines of industries, the Netherlands side onto neatly cropped farmland, and the Belgian part ... well, onto nothing :-)

Germany's THROUGH!!! Can't wait to see the quarters - think they're in for a good fight. Luckily for us though, the Psychic '8-legged Octopus' (Unlike the 10 legged or 7 legged variety) (see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/29/AR2010062901937.html - thanks Ameya!) also thinks Deutschland is going to squichee through.

Sigh. Its lunchie time. This was an abnormally short post - even for me. Hopefully something will catch my fancy (writing-wise) soon enough.

Cheerio
