Today was time to leave Prague. I had a great time, and fortunately I didn't see all of Prague that there is to be seen. Why is that fortunate? It just means that I will eventually have to go back. At some time. Who knows when, or how, but I just know that it has to happen.
I (finally) decided to leave the Czech Republic, for their neighbors to the north, Germany. When I think of Germany, I think of four things: Techno, (former) Nazis, Techno, and Beer. While the former may be true, something tells me that there is a lot more than meets the eye.
Sorry for the small amount of pictures, I haven't yet had time to fully explore. So if this seems like rambling, it may be.
The scenery on the train ride was magnificent. Lush farm land, backing up to dense forest. These pictures from the train window definitely don't do it justice.
In a country that has such a turbulent past. I find it amazing, even from my brief encounters with the Germans on the train, how optimistic the people are. It would be unimaginable that 60 years ago, a dark curly haired male would be having an open conversation with a blonde haired-blue eyed "Super-race" Member.
Germany, thus far, has been better than expected. The train ride through was very pleasant. We were rolling through the rich farmland throughout Germany, spotted with old farm houses, and old farm equipment. But, at the same time, we would pass hundreds of technologically advanced wind turbines. It has been very cool to see the new-meets-old part of Germany, and I think Berlin will have more of that than I can even imagine.
