First day back from what was sadly the last big trip while here in Germany and I am again working on this presentation for British literature class. It is nearly done.
Our conversation class was supposed to go to a “blind café” tonight. Marburg has a school for the handicapped, which here are predominantly those with vision problems. The city itself has many features built-in to assist the blind, including special paths crafted into the sidewalks, tactile guidance arrows at crosswalks, and special tactile paths in some grocery stores. This café is open three times per month and allows patrons to experience what it would be like to be sightless during the meal. Sadly, there was a mix-up with the reservation, so we ended up visiting Marburg’s very small Christmas market instead.
