My Brother, Ian


I was fortunate to spend two weeks in the fall of 2005 with my brother Ian. I had not really seen Ian for 15 years. I was completely broke after having my bank accounts drained etc. Ian was heading to Munich, Germany for a Vetenarian Conference where he was speaking and he invited me to head along. I had vowed years ago to never go to Europe but hey it seemed like a time for new beginnings. I spent a couple of days exploring Munich and their museums etc and then we did a few adventures like climbing to the top of the Zugspitz - the tallest mtn in Germany and doing a quick hike above Lake Konigsee. Amazing places. It was good to spend time with my brother again. It got exciting later on when Ian, who is working as a specialist vet in Ventura California but under a temporary work permit got temporarily denied entry and I ended up in LAX with no money, no credit cards..... Ian showed up 2 hrs later on the next flight.
