This grayish Saturday makes me think of Bremen.
The first 3 years I could not really get used to the weather. Then I somehow started noticing it more and more; not only that, I ended up liking it. There was something beautiful in that harsh climate, something that I always associated with sailors and their trips on open seas. Meeting any of them was always an enriching experience both because of their stories but mostly because of their characters.
Since I left Bremen I always managed to go and visit at least once a year. This year I have not been there yet, but in a few weeks I will be again on the train from Bremen to Vegesack, excited to arrive. I will see friends, colleagues, professors, my old apartment, the park, the river, the bars, the Turkish pizza place, my university.
I will let you know how that goes when the time comes, for now...I am in Cluj, it's Saturday and the rain stopped.
