86. Where Are We?

Seriously. The Munich apartment  is weird! We have adapted to switching homes every week and have a good idea of what the place will be like when we get there. Someone always ends up on a couch, the kitchens are always small, and if we are lucky, there will be two toilets! This place meets the basic requirements, except for the fact that I’m pretty sure someone actually lives here. Usually these places aren’t decorated, and have only the basics as far as kitchen supplies and appliances. We met the guy next door to get the key, and walked in to a hoarder’s home. At least it’s organized hording! The walls are covered in postcards, bags from foreign shops, maps, and origami. Star lanterns, giant paper birds, and butterflies are hanging from the ceiling, and the spiral staircase leading to the loft has a tree growing along the railing. Scarves and hats are taped up or looped through each other along the walls, and magnets are on every visible surface. That’s all the normal stuff. 

Scarlet woke up to the sight of a tiny man doll watching her sleep, and his little man doll friends are all sitting in the stair trees watching everyone else. There is a gay bar advertisement poster next to the toilet, a bunch of Buddha’s hanging out in the shower, and about 50 hotel door signs on the bathroom door. 

 

However the owner also has a stocked pantry, so we got to eat tonight! Apart from all the questionable trinkets lying about, this apartment really is charming and has a great view. Everyone has a nice place to sleep, we have wifi, and we found some English movies! We enjoyed a lazy night after our 6 hour train ride here, and Dad even surprised us with some delicious croissants for desert!
