So this has pretty much been my view while in Berlin. I would have posted some photos of the bonkers contents — including the crazy, possibly evil, certainly prize-winning clown — but I had to sign some scary German document wherein I promised to use the photos for private research only … so I don’t think putting them on the internet would be a good idea.
In any case, I went out with a bang. Or, rather … um, with a sail? I met up with a friend and our luxurious coffee (somewhere fancy with a real live German movie star whom I did not recognize) turned into a sailing trip. I know! So here’s where I spent the evening:
Beautiful! The Wannsee was perfect for a very adventure-adverse beginner: very very little wind, no waves, no rain, nothing too strenuous, just a nice hour or so floating around. Afterwards, we ate an obscene amount of pizza and drank some schnapps. So, yeah, a good end to the trip. Which also began with a bang …
That was my reasoning exactly for only posting the outsides of books a few weeks back. These are lovely! And oooh, sailing! Safe travels home!
I read “Strickerei” at first and was wondering when you were going to tell us that you were researching foreign knitting. Yeah. That was smart. Then I read the rest and realized it didn’t make sense and read it again. Anyway, Berlin is such a great place to have adventures.
Sounds pretty awesome. An obscene amount of pizza sounds like a perfect end. I could go for some right now actually…
Hope you have a safe trip back!
