baden-baden

Hello all,
I am just writing to let you know that i ate lunch today outside of Dostoevsky's house in Baden-Baden. I couldn't help but think about our discussions of how the characters perhaps reflected his life...but I can tell you that although he gambled everything many times over, when he was here, he lived a life of luxury. His house was huge, and has gold leaves on the balconies, and he attended the 2,000 year old Roman baths just 20 feet from his house regularly.
I hope the movie night was swell, and I can't wait to go on that hiking trip.
