One of many highlights from my ridiculous four
months in Europe – A half hour train ride outside of Berlin
is the town of Werder(Havel). Each Spring, the town hosts Baumblutenfest, a festivalto celebrate the cherry blossom
and the arrival of Spring. It. Was. Crazy. You roll outta the train with hordes
of people and commence drinking, eating and general merry-making. Folks were
selling plastic cups of homemade wine out of their garage for one euro. Bands were
playing every other street corner. I bought a doughnut the size of my face. Towards
mid-afternoon, we stopped at a stage to take a breather and finish our latest
cup ‘o wine. The picnic tables were packed shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow
drinkers and when this song came on … up went the cups and everyone began to
sway. It was that moment where you think, this is so cool – it should be in a movie
… and then you realize it’s your LIFE and it’s happening AT THAT MOMENT. Pretty
fricken sweet.
