Snow in Mainz - Jenn's Perspective
**To read about the earlier events of the day, check out Uli's entry here!
Meine Liebe Uli, sparkling with snowflakes on the way back to her apartment in Mainz.
January 16, 2010
My significant other did a wonderful job of recounting the tale of the trip through the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt! It was indeed an adventurous trek through the labyrinth punctuated by several rooms displaying such interesting art. How strange it is to walk around on everyday city streets and then leave that level of reality entirely to find oneself in a place where up and down seem to be simultaneous and nothing is quite as it seems... I loved it!
I also loved the Korean restaurant that we decided to try after spotting it on our way to see Avatar on our last adventure to Frankfurt. If you visit Uli's entry, you'll see a picture of me stuffing my face with some absolutely delicious BiBimBap! Go on and have a look! (:
What my beautiful lady didn't mention, however, was that it snowed on the way back to her apartment from the train station! Apparently this is sort of a special event in Mainz! It hardly ever snows, or so I'm told! The sparkling snowflakes began to blanket the streets with pure white, painting the portrait of a winter wonderland! And so the walk home felt rather cinematic! Had someone cued the music, I would have waltzed with the love of my life on a glistening sidewalk flanked by majestic trees that stood like elegant ushers.
While art-viewing, film-going, and fine-dining are enjoyable endeavours, sometimes all you need is the simple pleasure of magical walks on nights like these. The events of the day were fantastic, but nothing could beat the joy of watching my schatz be clothed in natural diamonds. This was took my breath away! There is never a moment that I forget how blessed I am to have this woman in my life. Just thinking of her makes my heart melt, like the snowflakes did as they were captured on the tip of my tongue where the words "I love you" will forever remain.
