After Nine Years

· Leave a comment ·

Actually our German social running groups organise a national meeting (called a Nash Hash) every year. Since there are 10 chapters in Germany which share the organising. Some are so small that they can’t manage the task. And then there was a break between 2018 and 2221 (I wonder why, I blocked out that time). But after nine years it’s upon us again. This was in 2014 in Rüdesheim. And you guessed it, next weekend it’s our turn again. This time there will be 270 hashers attending the GNH. The participants are limited by the size of the venue, more often than not a youth hostel.

So if you have been wondering seeing my photos over the past few weeks: this community has been on my mind more than usual.

What Children Want

This mural was created by a school class with many refugee students (hence the German is not perfect).

On this part the children wrote their wishes:

“Children should not fight in wars but go to school.” “I don’t like it when children are fighting amongst each other.” “All children should have a home.” “For me it’s most important to play with friends.” ” I wish for all children to be protected.”

at least that’s what it says on the brooch. It is a memento from the 2012 Wurstmarkt in Bad Dürkheim, the largest wine festival in the world (sort of like a huge Oktoberfest with wine instead of beer). The little replica glass is called a Dubbeglas which is typical for the Palatium. They drink their wine in half litre glasses that have grooves so they don’t slip through their fingers when they eat something fatty at the same time.
