Meditation and Bad Food

By -
Yesterday: relaxed in the park and saw Dirty Dancing at the Outdoor Cinema. I talked with a couple people from nearby Stockholm who are also avid travelers. I learned that in Sweden it's pretty common to take multiple gap years to work and travel, which is what they were doing.

So, we shook hands or hugged, something very brief and sat down in the kitchen for some refreshments and chatting. Jakov ...

Many class events have been taking us across Berlin (and today, up to Hamburg to stay overnight), and everywhere we go I want to wander and explore the area. I want to find cool things I wasn't expecting there. In the time in between, I am keeping up with messages from home and my homework from my classes. Yesterday, while visiting Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in Oranienburg, we were caught in a flash flood and were walking in knee-deep water until we found shelter in a vocational school.
