The last few days have been not quite a haze of jet lag, but I certainly know I've hopped time zones.
Germany was fantastic - I hope we go back! I got to see the Victory Column (totally near the hotel - we were on that end of the Tiergarten) along with random men-killing-things statues (they used to hunt wild boar on the lands of the Tiergarten, so it really isn't a surprise). And the Deutches Technikmuseum (social event for the win with train cars!) and the Checkpoint Charlie museum - right at Checkpoint Charlie - the guardhouse is still there with taxis and buses whizzing by it.
Lots of things I didn't get a chance to see - like the Brandenburg Gates - they were on the opposite end of the Tiergarten from where we were and I just didn't have that much free time to try to go see them. I went to the Checkpoint Charlie museum instead.
I am gearing up to go on vacation - which is my next big ADVENTUR! Hopefully a ton of relaxation and driving around the area dorking about small history bits with friends. Low key. And maybe there will be enough breezes to fly a kite or two.
I find as I get older I care less and less about what "people" think. Introvert that I am people wear me out, but it used to be paired with social anxiety where I would push to do something even knowing I would maybe have a good time doing it, but would pay for it later with exhaustion because people tend to suck my energy dry (except for when I am on stage, where, oddly, the exchange works the other way). I have less anxiety about saying no. Maybe it is age.
