8:30pm Beltershausen. Wallace and Gromit and the Were Rabbit, dubbed in Hebrew---Still under snow and frozen fog. Got up 12 hours ago and took off without breakfast for Dagobertshausen (hausen means 'houses' in some old german dialect)......there was probably someone named Dagobert just like there was someone probably named Belters.....the whole area is infested with little dorfs with names ending with 'hausen'. Anyway, D-Hausen is on the the other side of Marburg, about 17 klics through field and forest and then M itself and then back up a hill on the other side of town and through some more forests and sometime after one says 'Bob's your uncle' there you are. 2 hours and 45 minutes door to door and I could have done better but tried to find an abkurzung (shortcut) and lost about 15 minutes. But no problems. Light snow fell for awhile along the way, and there were a few hikers and dog walkers and joggers to ease the lonelieness.
Thinking thinking thinking......I got this little book for making notes but have stopped carrying it the last week on walks because by the time I get my gloves off and the pen out my hand is too cold to write anything. So, I keep forgetting many of the sage thoughts I have been having while I'm underway.
