Well, i can't say enough about yesterday. We started fairly early on a bike tour to Remagen. Remagen is a town, which during WWII had a bridge which we took, and allowed us to cross the Rhein River over a bridge, months before we could have otherwise taken. the military history was cool as well as the "peace museum" there. The former mayor of Remagen bought the bridge and then turned it into a peace museum. He, having worked as a 15yo for the Nazis building defenses for 14 hours a day with almost no food, gave him a unique, anti-war perspective. Indeed, he thought that WWII would be the last of all wars, however, there have been hundreds of wars since (a disproportionately high amount of them related to Muslims against whomever) He pointed out that the number of peace museums compared to history/war museums is tiny. Really though, this man honestly gave off the most genuine "war is bad" vibes i have ever felt. I think it is more important then ever to let/allow/give the middle-east the democracy that all humans strive for. Nobody want war, except for fanatics and lunatics.
Today, Friday, i had school and then went to the Haribo gummi baer outlet store, followed by a bbq at a friend's house. Overall, an excellent school week, and i'm looking forward to the flea market in the morning.
where are the pictures of the gummi bears? do any of their cinnamon friends hunt in the woods?
ReplyDeletenobody has posted any on facebook for me to jack, yet. i think the evil cinnamon bears were confiscated by the german military police at the factory (yes, there were two mps buying gummis in their uniforms).
