Tuesday, July 24, 2012. I left Berlin this morning after a surprisingly tear-free goodbye to M at the airport. I gave up wearing mascara two days into this trip because there was no point when I ended up looking like a raccoon by noon anyways. I take a few minutes to think about the fact that my grandma was liberated that day. Friday, July 20, 2012.

Last night around 9pm, I heard what sounded like an explosion. This was followed by more thunderous, booming racket. The animals heard it too and they scattered in fear, confusion, and curiosity. Phoenix, of course, was the first to find the source of noise. I stood in silence and awe, watching the show as it kept going on and on. And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air.
