There are times you feel you're part of the scenery

So here's what went down in Leipzig:
Anna and I drove there Friday midday. There was snow everywhere.

Friday night, there were classes. This guy named David introduced himself to Ary and me. The two of them hit it off and he hung out with our little group most of the weekend. Or Ary hung out with him. Then there was a movie night because apparently you aren't supposed to dance the Friday before Easter. Yay old traditions?

We went to the Stasi Museum. Stasi = secret East German police. And they were creepy good at finding people out, guilty or not. They were even better at keeping records of minutia.

We found a door our size!

And then we found out it was a door for disabled people......

Markt!

We were looking at watch necklaces. I kinda sorta maybe want one.

By the way, Leipzig is really run-down, except in the town center. You can really tell it was in communist hands for several decades. 

 

Osterball/ Easter ball

Ary and David hanging out on the Osterspaziergang thing. I'm not a creeper at all.

The chocolate bunnies we found on our Osterspaziergang.

What if chocolate rabbits multiplied like real rabbits? That could potentially be very awesome. Or really bad. Then I'd eat even more chocolate.

My real question is: Why did it snow on Easter? I should be wearing shorts at this time of year...

Game night on Sunday

I'm not a creeper, I promise! I was just... bored...

Monday we decided to take some silly pictures before we all left.

One more picture with Felicia. She just had to move to Russia... 

I'm so glad she came down for the weekend!

One last gem! A Trabbi! The notorious East German car. People have refurbished them and stuff. That still doesn't mean they go very fast. This guy certainly wasn't. But that's ok, because I got a picture. Seriously, seeing this made my day.

I like West Germany a lot better than the East. Maybe I should just spend more time there. It's not fair to base an opinion on anything after such a short time, especially since a lot of the time was spent in the church building. And I'll be honest. Sometimes I was downright lonely. My friends would manage somehow to all hang out with their other friends at the same time, and I either didn't want to interrupt potential flirting or couldn't find them at all. Nevertheless, it was good to get out of this house. Oh so very good. And now I know that I never want to live in Leipzig if I can help it. Don't even get me started on the quality of the roads or how chunks of the facades of the various buildings were missing. I'll just leave it at that. I'm sure Leipzig can be nice. It probably looks better when there are leaves on the trees, too.
