Luckily public transport was operating again on Christmas Day, so my mom and I went to Essen (the neighbouring city to Bottrop). First, we went to an exhibit in the Folkwang Museum with pictures and first photographs of Paris from the late 19th century. At night I watched a documentary on Arte about artists in Paris in the beginning of the 20th century - everything very interesting, and makes me want to see Paris in live soon.
the weather was beautiful, sunshine, lots of snow on the ground. We went to walk through the Grugapark - I think I have never been there before - and enjoyed a walk under the late afternoon sun. I was surprised to see a 'Hundertwasser' Haus - one of my favourite architects, in Essen. And I'd never known it so close...Makes me wonder that I should spend more time on learning about the cultural aspects of my home area. Under the snow cover it also looks a lot nicer there.
My mom had made our typical dinner for christmas time 'Rouladen' - I can just dig into the sauce and be happy!
