walking on history, VI: the wall
on july 1963, herr günter climbed over the wall near a construction site, when a truck was blocking the view from the guards. bernauer straße is filled with these small memorials to the people who fled from east to west – or died trying.
“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.”

happy things
it’s hot today, 30 something degrees and stuffy, reminding us of portuguese summers spent by the sea. i’m staying indoors, listening to obama’s speech and recovering from too much birthday food…
happy things lately:
– finishing yet another whole 30!
– receiving lots of handwritten letters from both friends and strangers
– waking up early to study with friends in the café around the corner
– hosting neat strangers through couchsurfing
– making new travel plans :)
our birthday tradition: to put this song on repeat first thing in the morning, so that it gets stuck in my head the whole day! :D
31, yay! i love birthdays, and i love being spoiled rotten by friends and family… thank you for all the nice messages i’ve received today (both online & offline)! it was an awesome day, filled with sun, nice food and very neat presents! :)
