The Top Ten Reasons Why Goetheallee 19* Rocked:
Eckberg Castle from kitchen window
10. We could see three castles from our kitchen and wintergarden!
winter sunset
9. Every morning I had to check to make sure the neighbors weren't in the common hall that seperated my room from the other half of our apartment before my dash to the bathroom in my pjs.
cherry buds
8. There is a HUGE cherry tree in the garden that we could eat from.
our buzzer
7. It was our first place to live in with super high ceilings--even small areas look big!
my old room
6. Taking out the trash or falling over on our bikes right outside our gate became so much more--the tour buses that drove by regularily with old people gawking made us feel like true ambassadors of the city in all its glory.
Elbe Meadow
5. We heard the sound of a piano most every morning and now that it's in the past, it doesn't matter so much that it was before 8am (and sometimes as early as 6).
Waldpark in Autumn
4. The Elbe meadow and Waldpark were ridiculously close and just beautiful.

3. Not everyone wonders if this time when they knock on their landlord's door he might greet them in his underwear, again.

2. There is a beautiful flower garden kept up by the elderly couple who lived above us.

1. Because when you live with someone you can have fun with, everything rocks! (and especially when it's in EUROPE!)
