Michael broke his leg 24 August when he was hit by a car while on his bicycle. Fortunately it was at low speed while turning and Michael was legally crossing the street on his bicycle. He had surgery to put pins and screws in his foot and leg and I flew to Germany and arrived the day before he was released. It was good to be able to help him in little ways, carrying laundry and groceries but it was better to just be in his world for a while.
Goettingen is a great little town. Its not a tourist town so few outside Germany have heard of it but it is easy to get around and the old city is very scenic. They have an excellent bus system that everyone uses and fortunately a bus stop is right in front of Michael's apartment. Even though I didn't use a bicycle it was easy to appreciate their accommodation for those using them with extra wide sidewalks and designated lanes for bicycles, even traffic lights just for bicycles and pedestrians.
The city wall encircles the old city and is wide enough that it is a walking path, thats where I saw the hedgehog.
