Travelogue: Deutschland, part 1

Paris to Hessen

When I was a kid, I always thought that when I grow up I would live in Germany. Maybe not Germany per se, but some well organized country where life is safe and where people travel all the time and where there are a lot of new things waiting for me to experience them. Germany sounded like that place.

My aunt had been living there for some time (she still does), and during my teenage years, I often came to spend time with her. It is obvious that everything that needs to happen in life - happens - so here I am, 700km to the west, but I do like visiting Germany and I was very excited about this trip and to see my aunt and uncle. My uncle's German Easter traditions reminded me of the ones I enjoyed as a child, so it was the perfect opportunity to take a break from Paris and enjoy foreign landscapes and, of course, plenty of colorful Easter eggs, that I haven’t seen yet in France.

"Oh, you're driving there? Wow!" - my friend Emily was surprised by our choice.
