am in frankfurt, all checked in, and ready to board, soon. strange, being at this airport with a destination that is not the usual one. just changed money, and it's the first time i ever had canadian dollars, i think. there will be plenty of first times during this trip, i guess.

dirk saw me off at the train station this morning after dropping by for a spontaenous brekkie, which was lovely. - in the past, leaving the city for frankfurt airport often felt like fleeing it, and today it didn't, even though one might argue that this trip has the air of running away from stuff about it.

it's strange, and good, everything that has happened these past weeks, and i want more of it. more happiness. more people around. more sparkling conversations. more life™.
i think i'm on the right track.
