Something clicked in my brain yesterday--Austria...oh yes, Innsbruck. I was fortunate enough to backpack through Europe on a EuroRail pass at the age of 26. I stayed several nights in a hostel; it was around this time of year. While I was there, it snowed, blanketing the city, softening its edges. It was the first time I had seen train cars with a playroom car; I went to get coffee in a hip shop, and discovered a play-loft and a ton of giant stuffed animals. It was also a performance space for music. Too cool.
I mention my age because I was an ignorant U.S. person about Europe in general up until my mid-20s. . Going solo for three (3) weeks gave me a new perspective, opened my eyes to the wonderful people of Europe, and most importantly, taught me how NOT to be and ignorant American... I wonder if the coffee shop is still in business.
Thanks for allowing me into your life, Tanja. I so appreciate you. Stay safe.
