Krystal's Travels
Happy May Day everyone! I'm back in Leipzig and it's definitely in my face. Leipzig is pretty well known for its demonstrations and today is a good example. Neo-Nazis march and there are demonstrations against them all over the city. I got back from Dresden around noon and the police were everywhere. Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but the German police scare me. They were in their riot gear ready to go. We went outside to catch the tram, thinking that they would actually come, but we were wrong. So I jumped on Beth's tram and got off at Augustusplatz hoping that my tram would actually stop there. Not long after one of the transportation people came up to me and said that there weren't any trams coming through and I would have to walk to Bayerischerplatz to catch my tram. Normally I wouldn't have minded much cause it's not really that far, but for some reason my foot has been hurting the past few days and I really just wanted to sit. It took about an hour for me to get home. It usually takes me 15-20 minutes on a normal day from the train station. I was pretty tired by the time I got back to my room so I laid down and took a 3 hour nap. A weekend of sightseeing will do that to you I guess. So that was my day. Back to class tomorrow. I'm getting spoiled with 4 day weekends.
