Yesterday was the last day Ilan was home before leaving once again, so we celebrated IWD the Russian way: he took me out to eat. (Borsch and bliny at Gorky Park, mmmm …)

This morning I went to visit the Clara Zetkin memorial in Ahrensfelde, a tower block suburb of Berlin.

There were some scattered roses at her feet.

It freaked me out a bit that I only saw Germans in Ahrensfelde (though I’m hoping that some of them were at least non-German Northern Europeans).
