I'd like to give a shout out to the lovely/elderly austrian woman that sat next to me on the the #5 tram to Westbanhof today. You sat next to me after I helped that other woman lift her baby stroller off the tram and you immediately smiled and started speaking german. I apologized for not understanding and asked if you spoke english--but all I heard from your response was "Nien, Nien--blah blah blah (in german) blah blah Hitler something. You kept talking a mile a minute in German, knowing that I didn't understand a word you were saying, but I really loved every minute of it. By the time I left the tram, 10 minutes later, your arm was wrapped around mine and whenever you laughed you laid your head on my shoulder like we had known each other for years. We had a short but honest embrace when I left and I wish I could have told you how magical you were.
