Day 85: Nach – Nach
{Enjoying sunlight in Hamburg over lunch}
I thought the inverted bell jar was pretty cool.
Notice the lit candle. This is something particular to Germany. Or at least northern Germany. Every (non-fast food/non-take-out) restaurant that I’ve been to in Hamburg and Berlin have tall, lit candles on every table – even for lunch. (Which is interesting because German restaurants tend to be well-lit – too well-lit for my taste. I prefer dimmed lighting, especially for dinner.) I appreciate the atmosphere actual lit candles create, but to my American eye, I can’t help but see fire hazards on every table!
I’m wearing my new porcelain Nach ring, which I bought in Paris a few days ago. I actually first saw Nach rings in Arrow in Minneapolis before Christmas, and I loved them. But I finally bought one at Galleries Lafayette in Paris because they had a cat ring. And since I love kitties….
-k.
