Today the sickness got me. I felt it coming on last night but ignored it and now it is not good. I had a slow morning and then at about 12pm went out in search of soup which took way longer than expected. after that when I was sitting in the hostel eating my soup and felling sorry for myself I met a dude from Newcastle that was now living in Germany and was in Munich for some brewer exam, yes thats right some Aussie moved to Germany to learn how to make beer, and its pretty much the dream. anyway he coerced me with the promise of sun and beer to accompany him to the English Garden which I did and was totally worth it. we sat and chatted for a little, each taking turn to talk about our craft and it was obvious that both of us could hear the passion in the other which is nice, I think it has been a while since someone really asked me about what I like and why I like making jewellery and even just about little things and honestly it was really great to just talk about the act of making and not about the object. afterwards as the sun started to go down we headed further down to where the surfing was and watched it for a little, man it is so so cool and i felt so much envy towards them, not only for being able to surf but for being in the water, I really really miss the ocean and I think it is getting to me. later that night we all went out for a final dinner as a group to the same restaurant we had visited as we first got to Munich. I think it was a really good ending and although the trip had ups and downs I think it was really rewarding and eye-opening and I really really thank Karin for the opportunity that she has given us and guided us through.
