here is a particular kind
of homecoming that
surprises you, one you
did not know you were making until the moment it arrives. As someone of German descent, traveling to the country of my parental roots carried a resonance that went beyond tourism, a quiet, deeply personal thread woven through every cobblestone, cathedral, and candlelit dinner. Germany is a
nation of spectacular complexity:
ancient and avant-garde, stoic and sensual, meticulously ordered and thrillingly alive. Nowhere is this complexity more magnificently on display than in the extraordinary
triptych of cities that form the country's great cultural triangle, Berlin, Hamburg, and Dresden.
