Berlin Grafitti
Happy Friday Everyone!
Last night I dug through my Germany photos to reminisce about my wonderful three week visit. I came across a lot of interesting photos that I had skipped over. So the next few posts will be from these new found German photos.
This photo was taken nearby one of the last standing pieces of the Berlin Wall, not too far from Check Point Charlie. Graffiti litters buildings in Berlin, which is embraced as part of the cities culture. I personally didn’t appreciate it that much since it was text based and not beautiful art graffiti that fills the alleyways of Melbourne, Australia. I do appreciate the cultural and historical reference to the graffiti in Berlin though. It is something that makes the city unique and ties you to its rich history.

Speed Walking
Today’s image I found deep in my Germany folder. We are “Speed Walking” the 4km hike from Lake Alsat in the Bavarian Alps to get back to the town of Fussen for dinner. It never gets old looking at the pictures from this area of Germany. Fussen was a small little mountain town with its main street consisting of stereotypical cafés, shops, and abundance of people. It had its own castle, open to the public, that looked over the village. The people were so friendly and always willing to help us lost Americans find what we were looking for. I miss Fussen very much so, probably because the town reminded me of my motherland, Colorado, with a European twist. If you are ever in Germany, make the trip down to Fussen. It is worth it 100%!
