When walking down the street, it is not a surprise to see a man who has attached his upright piano on his bike, trekked it to a popular pedestrian location, and started playing symphonies for passers-by.
Yesterday morning, we woke up to the Sambazug (Samba Train) that went through our town:
Every Wednesday night, the Radio Villa Musica group gets on a float and plays music along the Neckar River. We jumped on a punting boat to join the group two weeks ago. Here are some photos...

A sampling of their performance:
Tübingen held an impressive "Culture Night" several weeks ago. Culture night consisted of hundreds of events lasting from 4pm to 2am the next morning. Damian and I casually started the evening, strolling through the streets. Little did we realize how amazing this event would be. We were provided a map, a timeline, and a wristband to enter any of the venues. We were so amazed by the different performances, we almost skipped eating dinner so we wouldn't miss some of them.

| An amazing folk music band that broke out into "Sweet Home Chicago" at one point. |

| A choir that played with the theme of water. |
Tübingen is such a unique place!
