german word of the day: schlitten fahren - sledding
second german word of the day: porutscher -
truth be told, it was a bit more hiking than sledding, but it was fun. as we were walking back i we caught a glimpse of a small part of town kind of cut off from the rest of the city in a little side valley. night was falling, and the lights were just coming on, silhouetting the houses and streets.
it looked a lot like this christmas decoration my mom used to bring out and put on the ledge downstairs. one little house, fairly colorful with blues and yellows, snow lining the roof and windows and a little tree, complete with a little switch that would turn on a light inside when it was plugged in.
it is beautiful what we see sometimes, even just walking around at dusk, maybe especially walking around at dusk.
