This weekend, I am off to Kiel to sight-see and run in a half marathon on Sunday morning. Kiel is the capital city of Schleswig-Holstein, the northern-most state in Germany (the state in which I live), and is a port city on a fjord off the Baltic. It was heavily bombed in WWII, because it is the prime location for ship-building and submarine operations for Germany. It’s population is about 240,000, and has a big university.
