Pondering about bikes, my accident and my great luck. Soooo grateful.

Love to you, Leipzig. And love to you...

I am damn lucky

Dear readers,

Yesterday, on one of the most stunning summer days in the past weeks, something drastic happend to me. I was going by bike when suddendly my bike chain stopped to work, which led to: me flying throug the air hiting the ground with face first. The result: a broken and fleshed (but it`s sewed now) nose, many grazes, broken glasses and a huge shock.
Fortunately I wasn`t alone and there was a very brave and kind driver who called the ambulance and waited with me and my friend until the ambulance arrived. I am sending you hearts driver.

So nothing dramatic really happend, Iam still able to see, hear, walk and all my limbs and internal organs a perfectly fine. I don`t even have a concussion.
I also want to add, that everything was fine in the hospital too. I really felt save and in proficient care. The ambulance personell, the doctors and nurses were all very nice, calm and professional.

So all in all I conclude that I am a very lucky girl and I am grateful that nothing worse happend.

So I am hoping to go from this.....

back to this very soon.

Why does it always rain on me?

Regarding the news about the floods in the south and here in the east of germany you may be a bit concernd on how I may survive in saxony. Especially when you consider that I am not far away from poor Grimma and Leipzig is sorrounded by rivers and canals. But we are still doing good here, despite the fact that constant gloomy skies, a humid and cold weather and continuing rain (sh*t loads of rain since a week and a half) make almost everyone gloomy and grumpy and with no motivation to go outside to make anything more than the mere urgent basics of urban life keeping (making the grocery, going to university and work)
Nevertheless, yesterday something had to change and I made an urban explorer tour on one of the most rainy days this summer so far. It was good to be in motion and to catch up some fresh air but let me say this: There is no such horror like having soaking wet shoes and therefore wet feet and being soaked in rain. NOT AMUSING. But "enough with bragging" I hear you cry. SO I present you the photos of the gorgeous Sternburg Brewery.

Oh the irony

Sternburgbier, das lob ich mir

Madrid, some impressions

Glashouse in Retiro

At the time I was in Madrid we had still snow in Germany, but Spain was full of flowers and spring.

Churros

Old market place

Part of the Palacio real. The latest monarchic palace.

Art Nouveau in real live, Retiro Madrid

Glashouse, Retiro Madrid

This is a usual backyard of the shared housing in Madrid

They have different exhibitions in the glashouse. This one was an installation with sounds and colored circles.

One of the many huge fontains in Madrid. Pretty phalic, isn`t it?

Flags, there are many of them as well.

Madrid

I would really like to schare my photos from Madrid with you but it is just not possible to load up photos. This is like for a week and it`s driving me crazy. I really hate that situation.
