July 4 to 6 Germany
Hambourg
Hambourg
Spending time with Rolf and Karina again in their beautiful
home. We are spoiled by them! And we spent my birthday in the Baltic sea!
Karlshagen, Baltic coast near Poland
We say goodbye to our friends and we hit the road again. Germany
is a very big country with lots and lots of people, so after 4 hours of driving
we are still no where near Poland. But the hot weather even though is
summer here is far in between it calls for a whole day on the beach!
What I love about the beaches in Germany is that clothes are "optional"! Nothing can beat the feeling of bathing naked on the sea. It is true that it takes a while to get used to see so many ugly and old bodies (sorry, but the truth!) laying around without clothes but the sheer normality of all is something to learn from them. Families, grandfathers, couples, singles....different shapes....it is a great lesson in life that this culture embrace aging of the bodies with such easiness. For us so hung up on "youth and beauty" this is certainly a challenge....!
