Today we were sitting at the table enjoying some good food when the warning sirens started to go off around this area. We are just outside of Hamburg, Germany and I was told that they do this every Saturday at 12noon to test the sirens.
Even though it was just a test, I couldn't help but imagine the idea of bombers flying overhead and having to run to the cellar for shelter. I could imagine the fear and chaos as the sounds of the planes interrupted our pleasant conversations and the sounds and feel of bombs crashing throughout the neighborhood.
Yes, I sat and imagined that and yes it was only a test but it made me think how fortunate I am to be here in a great place like this with good friends and good food and not have to worry about that sort of thing.
Have a great day ya'll
