Snow!

I’ve only experience the joys snow a couple of times since I left Utah as a kid (the blizzard of ‘93 being one of them). I don’t even think it has snowed at Auburn in over 6 years. But my snowless life took a turn yesterday when I went out to Karstadt to buy a couple of items. I rode the train down a couple of stops, enjoying the warm sunny weather in the early Berlin afternoon. Then as I came out of Karsstadt, I noticed that it had gotten much colder and that it was starting to rain. Waiting impatiently at the train station, I realized that it wasn’t rain at all but snowflakes and a winter landscape descended upon the city. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

The next day it was still snowing and my friend Christina called me and asked if I wanted to frolic in the snow with her. But by the time we got to Tiergarten, the snow had turned to rain and melted my hopes of nailing her with a snowball. We had to hunt for anything remaining that was worth throwing. At Tiergarten we found this bizarre collection of monoliths scattered in an open field, which according to a sign was apart of a project to collect stones from across the globe. I have no idea who would pay to move enormous boulders halfway around the world. Sadly there was no rocks from North America.

I am so pumped for christmas right now.
