Despite the ringing of the bells from 7am onward, I managed to lie in a bit longer than yesterday. Getting out of bed was a struggle. I neglected to stretch after yesterday's endeavour, and the muscles in my legs seemed to have solidified overnight. That meant no more hikes in the Bad Schandau area today.I spent the whole day on a deck chair in the glorious sunshine and was saddened to have to pack up to make the trip back to Dresden. I had nothing much to show for today, having not taken any photos, but upon arriving in Dresden, spontaneity changed my plan of a quick walk home to make pasta into a search through town for sushi. I never did find the sushi place (I've eaten there three times already???) but I stumbled across Kunsthofpassage, a unique laneway of artsy-type shops and restaurants. Two of the apartment buildings are elaborately decorated; one of which is seen in the photo. Twice an hour there is a water exhibit demonstrating how the eavestroughs work when it rains. Have a closer look at the photo. It reminded me of Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna. If you ever have the chance to see HWH - DO!
Anyway, for all the moaning I have done about "Ron and Nancy", I wished it would have rained when I was at the passage today. I will definitely go back when it's raining to see the drains work in full force.
I began to tackle the mound of homework I neglected on my weekend away. Most of it is from the teacher who won't be here for my last week. I suppose I could not bother, since we'll have a substitute, but a) why? I'm here to learn and b) the substitute is my evening class teacher so it's not like I can get away with anything.
BTW, yesterday's texting dilemma from the top of whatever mountain I was on was - "is it OK to litter a banana peel in the forest since it's biodegradable?". I didn't; but I wonder if there would have been any harm. What do you think?
