Joy and Dirty Socks: Dresden

Mein Gott!
In the blink of a train-strike, my short trip across Germany transformed into a 10 day saga of adventuring. Sure, many an undergarment had to be washed by hand, socks worn one day more than they should, but hey, travel is just another word for "making things work". 

 During my short school break,I visited my friend and fellow CBYX Vermont gal Sophie, who showed me proudly around her second-home of Dresden. And let me tell you, Dresden is much more than a pretty face. Scarred by war, the city and its people have come full circle, building it back up into a compelling scene of the here, the now, and the future to come. Bubbling with old beauty and a heavy dose of funk directly across the Elbe, It's the place to be if you like your cities wonderful.









And now, we enter the in-your-face Nuestadt across the Elbe....full of dreadlocked kids, vegan currywurst, and color. You would be hard pressed to find a blank space in this corner of Dresden.
