Leipzig


Just over an hour south from Berlin on the train and we are now in Leipzig. The list of famous thinkers and musicians associated with this town is quite long. We had dinner last night in the Auerbach Keller, which was made famous by Goethe in Faust.
One of the reasons for adding Leipzig to the itinerary was the role it played in the end of East Germany in 1989. Most of today centers around that, so I'll save my comments for then. We are scheduled to finish today with a visit to the cabaret. I have no idea what that entails.
