Quiet Sundays

Sundays in Berlin are so quiet, it’s sometimes freaky. I go outside and there’s hardly anyone walking or driving. It sometimes seems to me that people forget to go outside on this day or there’s a curfew.  Shops and supermarkets are closed, trains are coming every 10 minutes, nobody is waiting at the red light on the opposite side of the street. Life just feels really slow and quiet.  The benefit is that it’s nice to go for a run on the main street sidewalks. I normally run in the parks or down the canal but on Sundays sidewalks are empty and I am not getting on anyone’s way. I’ve also noticed that they cleaned the sand that they put on the snow. So it’s nice and clean.

Sunday is not my favorite day of the week. I always feel tired and sleepy especially when the sun is not out. Today was one of those days. Hope to see some sun next weekend.
