Miles and miles

Monday, July 9

I walked for miles and miles today. All around Munich, all around. Buildings and street venders and everything in German. Nothing in English. Booked a small semi-hotel that I forget the word for. But now am in my first hostel and am thinking that it is good to have my own place if I plan to sleep tonight. Also, I forgot to mention that the last DJ I saw in Zurich was partially great because it was raining, faintly most of the time, but it added a special something to the show.

I dont know how to describe what all this traveling is like. I know that I need some sleep in order to process all this. Sleeping three hours a night is just intensifying the culture shock. But still, I think it is mostly the same everywhere so far in western europe. Italy next, but before that I will be visiting a concentration camp to get in some history and reconnect with those terrible tragedies. I think I will probably cry. I am okay with that.

When I walk around, I suspect around certain corners to recognise the face of a friend. I hope you are all doing well, many of you are in my thoughts. If you are reading this, you can rest assured I mean you.

Much love from Bavaria, only part of Germany following WWII. Oh, liederhosen (not spelled right I know) is sexy stuff.
