Profound lack of photography.

Alrighty. So. I forgot my camera when Rebecca and I went out today. Yeah. I would've gone back to get it, except for the fact that the apartment was locked and nobody would be home until 4 PM. So I shall use my words instead! 


For those of you who don't know, right now we're halfway through our big European adventure! Today was spent wandering about Hamburg, Germany. We saw a lot of the city last night, when Gregor drove us around while Soren explained a lot of the history of the city. Apparently Hamburg has the most bomb bunkers of any German city. HUH. Also, there was a massive fire in an artillery bunker here during the war, and people on the streets nearby suffocated due to the fire sucking all the oxygen out of the area. Unreal, right?! There was this amazing church called St Nikolai as well, it was bombed during WWII, and only the bell tower and some of the outer stonework are still standing. It's all blackened from the smoke, and just standing there knowing a bomb hit that spot was pretty incredible. Also being in Germany, the bomb would've been dropped by the Allied army, which is kind of a weird thought. 


Know what else we did today? No? Well. We went shopping. Mom, you should be proud of me. I bought TWO pairs of shoes. TWO! Europe has the sweetest shoes, no word of a lie. And I bought other stuff. Which is really stupid, because now I have to carry it with me for the rest of this trip. DANG IT. I also don't know if it will even fit in my backpack. Sigh. It's a tough life. 


There's this place here called Miniatur Wunderland. And it was SWEET. All these miniature railways in different countries. And PEOPLE. AND THINGS! We went there too. It probably sounds kinda lame, talking about miniaturized people and places, but the details in this place were so cool! It's actually the world's largest model railway exhibition. Yeah. So rad. Google it. 


Okay, that's all for now. And uhhhh yeah. My bad.
