Hug, hug, hug


It is a cold and rather rainy Spring day in Frankfurt this Saturday. One of those miserably damp days that just seems to sink into all the aches and pains leftover from a stressful week. Nick's friend Mike was in town visiting for the day and despite the unfavorable weather we ended up sitting outside at my favorite Saturday farmer's market at Konstablerwache having pancakes and cappuccinos before Mike had to catch his flight. As we walked him down into the subway, we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by about 6 or 7 people carrying signs that said "Free Hugs" in a couple of different languages.

I have no idea what this was for or who was organizing it, but we all got hugs from the people with the signs. I got two for taking this picture. . . . It's definitely one way to brighten up a rainy April morning.

*** A quick addition to this. After a quick bit of research, apparently there is a Free Hugs Campaign out there. Check it out.
