I haven't had time to write! I've been having way too much fun with Sofia to be able to sit in front of the computer and write about what has been going on!
We went to two museums in Frankfurt and walked around a whole bunch and we were able to have some traditional german food with her cousin Alexis and her boyfriend, who were very very hospitable and showed us around the city a bunch. She also took us to a gallery opening of this artist who did these awesome mixedmedia pieces. It was really awesome. I love art! Haha. We also went to this HUGE openair market and I found an AMAZING medium format Agfa camera that seems to be in perfect working condition and I am SO EXCITED to get some film into it and see if it works! It looks like this:
It has popout bellows and ahhh. It's is godly.
Then we headed to Berlin yesterday. We almost missed the train but it was fine and we made it here in good time. We had our own little cabin and we had the lights down and turned the heat up and it was like our own little cocoon of comfortableness. Haha. It was great. It was about a 4 hour train ride but it was pretty pleasant. I took a little nap which I definitely needed and then we planned out where we were going to stay when we got to Berlin and what we were going to do.
We ended up in this nice hostel that has a cozy and fun bar, a cafe [that had AWESOME breakfast this morning] and really helpful staff. We had these two really terrible guy dorm mates who were like snobby prep university boys from like paris and london and they were really gross and stupid. They came in at like 7am and were SO LOUD and then they snored all night. We knew that they had to check out today because they told us they were leaving today, and check out is at 12pm. 12pm rolled around adn we had had breakfast and come back up and taken showers and gotten ready for the day and they were still asleep. Ha. If they weren't such terrible people we would have woken then up, but they deserved the late checkout fee. Haha.
Today we went to an AMAMAMAAMAAAAZZINNGGG photography exhibit way out on the outskirts of Berlin. It was fucking incredible. So many different artists and different kinds of photographs and holy crap. It was incredible. Some really beautiful work. I wrote like 9 pages in my journal with ideas on content and presentation that the show inspired me with. We both really enjoyed it. What else did we do today. We looked for a flea market that is notoriously amazing but we couldn't find it, so we shopped a little more and got lunch and walked around exploring and taking photographs.
Tonight we're staying on a hostel BOAT! It should be really awesome! I am super excited!! I will give the details on that later because I'm sure it will be quite the experience!
