Today I drove from Bremen to Berlin with Sophie. It’s around 400 km, just like from Sao Paulo to Franca.
Probably I drove to Franca every month while living in Brazil; it was where I felt most at home. Driving from Sao Paulo on Thursday or Friday night after work was real therapy! The time spent in my car getting there was most of the time like being given air to breath after staying underwater for too long.
The first 320 km to Ribeirao Preto were fast, the last 80 km…like getting on a space ship and leaving the orbit to enter a new world. I drove with the window open to smell the earth and the sugar cane plantations. I have a clear image in my mind of a starry night with Johnny Cash singing while I was getting closer and closer to home.
And so I made it to Berlin.
