Last week I was in Munich, then Trier then Paris then Amsterdam and now Berlin. In the meantime I managed to lose my laptop, find it again, meet crazy people do crazy things...yikes! I don't know whether to try and catch up on here or simply start fresh, so as a compromise here is a list of the top 10 things i have done/seen since my last post.
1. children playing on swingsets next to the longest still standing stretch of the berlin wall while below them in the park, a man with a DJ booth attached to a bicycle blasts techno music
2. the Eiffel tower lit up at night, sparkling with lights when the clock strikes midnight
3. wandering the streets of Amsterdam past midnight surrounded by casinos, "coffeeshops" and hookers, feeling safer than in any other city i've visited
4. my norwegian hostel roommate showing me how to write my name in elvish runes and translating Borges into norwegian for me
5. Montmartre.
6. catching the train from Ingolstadt to Munich and seeing a rainbow at twilight arching across the fields of hops and winking village lights
7. waking up to the sounds of Paris. waking up to the sounds of Berlin.
8. Listening to Paula my hostel hostess(the same as who i stayed with in June) play Leonard Cohen on guitar in the morning while we drink our coffee
9. the Amsterdam Pride parade whose floats literally float(the whole parade is made up of decorated boats on the canals)
10. finding my computer!!!
okay more to come...hopefully more frequently, as well(since i don't plan on losing my computer again any time soon!)
