Yesterday was a very important day for Dresdners... The anniversary of the Dresden bombing during WWII. Over 17,000 people showed up, forming a
human chain that stretched from Altstadt to Neustadt and back- over 2 miles. Not counting the hundreds of onlookers.

We didn't feel comfortable participating, and in fact it was even a little awkward to be looking on, but it was worth the strange feelings to see a city come together in such an awesome symbol of peace.
