Triumph and empty bank accounts! Trials and döner kebaps! Good times have been, are being, and will be had! I am not sure how much will be written here, but i do want to post pictures and maybe some video footage of this adventure in Berlin. This has been a worthy one so far, and by the end will be the longest vacation-type trip i’ll have ever taken. It certainly won’t be the last either…
My traveling companion Scarlett and i met in a Norse & Irish Mythology class at Whatcom Community College in the Fall of 2013. We talked each other into this adventure over the course of the last year and it is endlessly satisfying to be here now. Scarlett is a dear friend and the reason i am flying under the Unicornbacon.com domain name.
[Speaking of which, I highly suggest visiting her blog too, as hers is much more historically accurate/informed/academically detailed, PLUS there are videos of us trying strange German snack foods. Oh, and she knows how to blog properly; it is a nicely arranged site from what my inexperienced eye can gather.]
The hope is that for lack of post cards, this webpage will be a way to apprise folk at home and elsewhere of the goings-on here in Germany. I can easily spend hours on a single email so if i consolidate my efforts into a public electronic journal then more expression may be accomplished in shorter time. It has been about 2 weeks since we arrived here so there’s some catching up to do and dozens of photographs to share… Dang, there’s some cool stuff here! On with it, then!
The night before departure at the Lummi Island ferry dock. I met up with my traveling companion across yonder waters.
It’s just a ferry dock but everything seemed final and irreversible at this moment. Moved out of my house and packed bags the same night. Many kinds of goodbye, only some of them temporary.
Last sunrise i’ll see in the PNW for 3 months.
Windowshine from the Vancouver terminal, t-minus 30 minutes before leaving North America. 12 hours of flying to go..!
G’bye, ‘merica.
