This week-end I flew through Munich, a nice experience. First I didn’t recall that it was such a nice airport. I was surprised by the excellence in service: a personalized screen giving details on the connecting flights just at the exit gate, free coffee & newspapers all around the terminal, good communication by ground staff…. cool! As a consequence of a delay on my first flight I was rebooked on the next one. So I did some Christmas shopping. I spend almost one hour in the Vedes shop, I love it! I remembered us, little ones, spending hours reading and reading again the Vedes catalogue. Kids’ dreams :) everyone needs dreams and unfulfilled expectations. Xmas in Germany is my favourite, without doubts. Then, it was white in Munich. It has snowed a lot in the northern part of Europe this last week. But it was almost irrealistic after the 15°c in Rome and nothing like cold winter weather.
I don’t know when was the last time I flew to Munich, 6 – 7 years? It’s like a circle end. Munich, WDL, Starnberg have been the place of really important moment in my life. It’s where I promised I would even go to Africa, a scary “eventuality”… (what became reality after 8 years) … I learnt the importance of quiet times, and used to wake up at 6:00am, go to lake, sit on the stairs with the Alps in front of me, get some time apart from the chaos of the day just between me & my God… had endless conversations with my cousin and best friend at that time… (who I shall finally see again at his wedding on Dec 31st). And in these days I was wondering what my future would look like, but I hadn’t imagined I would study in LLN, neither move to Italy AND stay there so long :)
