Today is Germany's national holiday - "The Day Of German Unity". Germany was reunited fourteen years ago.

After I have watched on TV a very dramatic finish of the Cycling Worldchampionship in Verona, Italy, I decided to look to the party around the "Brandenburg Gate" and the "Reichstag".

Actually, this "party" does not derserve the name "party". And it is a bit ashaming, how the capital of a country celebrates the national holiday. Just some food-booths and some carousels. Poor!

Well, I decided to buy an "Original Thuringian Sausage" and then sit on the lawn in front of the "Reichstag" - to look at the people, the kissing couples, the queueing tourists, the playing or crying children - and sit in the warm golden October sun and ate peacefully my sausage...
