Last Days in Dresden
The end of the month always means packing up and organising things to be ready to leave which is always fun (not!). After Jen left, I made one more trip out of the city (this time by bus!) to a very small town called Graupa to visit the Richard Wagner museum. Wagner spent some time working in Dresden and took a summer vacation out to Graupa, where he sketched some of Lohengrin. There is a small museum there to his life and work. It was marginally more interesting than the Bach Museum in Leipzig, but again, not riveting. There is a pleasant walk around the house with signs along the way outlining Wagner's work and life and the house itself is quite pretty
The last gigs in Dresden were reasonably uneventful and on Saturday the 1st September I was all packed and ready to catch the train to Travemuende. My life in 4 bags...

Glad to hear you had a friend visit and could do some side trips - that train ticket sounded terrific value! Did you now Craig Schneider when he lived in Melbourne? Probably the only tap dancing jazz pianist/vocalist I know! He taught Christian for a while and is now playing at the London Jazz Club, the Dorchester and the Savoy Hotels, I think, as well as being MD of the Las Vegas Rat Pack show. so like you, he's enjoying his time overseas, where he has been for about 3 years now! Hope you come back to us sooner than Craig seems to be planning - where is the next stop after Dresden? Couldn't believe the pic of life in 4 bags, especially as one of them seemed to be a keyboard!
