Two photos by Jenn - first of Artemis at the zoo, the next of Anemone after Church with Jenn, overcome with ecclesiastical ecstacy - she had to jump in the fountain.
And where am I, you might ask? i am dithering my life away - half conscious (by the grace of diet coke am I not completely torpid) 10 km away, rotting on a seat at the Freie University.
Today was a bit different, to be fair. Pedro and I went to an old agricultural station E of Berlin to collect samples for a project.
More reasons to love Berlin:
The city stops abruptly at its boundary. Nowhere ( not even Saskatoon) is there a more stark urban/rural transition.
The entire city smells like Tilia flowers. This is by far the best smelling city I know.
The bicycle lanes. There are reserved lanes, in red brick, on the sidewalks just for bicycles. Meaning you have an uniterrupted, safe, stress free ride through even the very centre of this city. It is like flying. I love it.
The city is wild tonight. Germany vs Turkey and all I hear are firecrackers and shouts. Must be Turkey's ahead. Anemone is out with Y and J watching the game at a pub with Pedro and Matthias. She has made a sign for the occasion - completely on her own, "gehen deutschland". She keeps the english/deutsch dictionary close at hand, at all times for such occasions.
That Nem is having the time of her life! Where is Miranda while they're all pubbing? I would absolutely love, love, love to bike around Berlin. I must.
ReplyDeleteWonder where the pious one is getting her religious training from?
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Nem is wearing the dress.
Berlin sounds amazing. sure lots to do.
What do Tilia flowers look like?
anemone is amazing. Imagine checking the German/English dictionary at her age.
