D-Day

Yesterday we went to do some errands and then  downtown.  As Nachita went to buy a cable for the computer I sat and watched people go by.  This city is cosmopolitan.  You can see modern people, very thin guys, very fat ones, blonds, red haired, arabs, latins, piercings, and no bias toward sex preferences, as they openly show their feelings while nobody cares.

It's also very international as I urgently needed a bathroom and asked a lady for: "bathroom", "baño", "pipi" and then she smiled and said "ist international" with German accent.

We took bus 32 and it made us a tour through the city.  It was breathtaking as everything is so perfect, beautiful balconies, perfect houses, flowers, River Neckar... until they took us to the old part, as Heidelberg University is the oldest in Germany (founded in 1386) and the third in the Roman Empire.  One feels surrounded by history here... but in one of those curves, I couldn't help it but feel sad for those Jewish people who freely walked to work, to shool... and were aggressively taken to labor camps and then to death...........

Anyway, it's wonderful to be here.  I feel in a fairy tale all the time.

My appointment with Dr. Platten is at 12.30.  Please pray that everything turns out OK and they give me a chance for a better life.  

I have to get in the shower now.

Guten Morgen
