After a fairly laid-back Monday -- working out at the gym on the base, prepping for my workshops and talking to clients, I woke up early this morning to experience my first U-Bahn adventure. My trip to Bamberg involved two changes of trains. I needn't have worried about the timing. The schedules are eerily correct. It was a four hour ordeal, but with my book and ipod, I was zooming along. These are pictures from the Frankfurt station -- very modern and impressive; clean, easy to navigate, etc.
I had been to Bamberg before, but I don't remember it very well. The old part of town has several pedestrian only streets of cobblestone and wide, generous platz's (or plazas). It's a great town for walking, with structures that have survived the centuries around every corner. Here's a photo from my hotel window of the rooftops of Bamberg. The Hotel National is not a great 3 star hotel, but it is close to the train station and the breakfast was good.
For my workshop (done on the still-being-built set for Once On This Island, which we will see in a couple of weeks) we had five participants. I don't mind saying that I was nervous, not having done one of these in many years. But they are a wonderful group and it went very well. We had to force ourselves to stop after 2-1/2 hours. It was a diverse group, some who have never acted before and the director of Island, who has more experience.
Today, I move on to Schweinfurt (where I had seen School House Rock Live!) to do another workshop.
