Skating

So many things I feel I've taken for granted on this trip, like the fact that I've been safe this whole time or can even have the privilege to do this in the first place. I just find it necessary to acknowledge the gratitude I feel at this opportunity which is truly privileged and lucky.

With that said, done quite a bit more exploring of Berlin. And that included a giant roller blading excursion around the entire city with thousands of Berliners at night. Called Skate Night Berlin, it's this big event with police and all shutting down the streets as you blade for 50 km!!! Crazy. So glad I had the opportunity to do it.

Also, still feeling this immense pull to London. Such a strong pull. Even though I now know for sure that I'm not going back before I leave, this trip, I am certain I will go back soon. It just captured me in a way that was lasting. In an "oh I could ACTUALLY live here" way.

Berlin is nice but I need to explore some more of the history. That's what tomorrow is for. But reflecting back, I felt so at home in London.
