I am currently enrolled in a program called the European Master in Renewable Energy. From Oct-07 until Jan-08, I studied general RE at Carl von Ossietzky Univ. of Oldenburg, Germany. Then I studied wind energy at the Nat'l Tech Univ. of Athens, Greece, for 4 months. I've now returned to NW Germany to intern for six months with a wind energy consultancy called Deutsche WindGuard. This blog documents my experiences with photos, tales of cultural (mis)adventures, and musings about energy resources.

Mt. Imitos Promenade
Two weeks ago, while two good friends from Oregon – Vernon & Rosy – were visiting me in Athens, a group of my classmates organized a Sunday afternoon hike to (nearly) the top of Mount Imitos. Imitos is a broad mountain, which lies to the west of the city, not far from our apartment. It was a beautiful, sunny day, so we got some nice views of Athens and of the sea (to the SW). Here are some pics from our stroll: . L-R: Laurent, Emma (front), Marion (back), Xavier, Fernando, François, Antoine, Nora, Filippo, Scott, Rosy (photo by V. Reitz) . Lunch break near the peak .
