Happy Anniversary!

Happy 3rd anniversary! And we did celebrate it with style! Hamburg style, which is exploring Blankenese, an area in Hamburg with no traffic, but stairs on end. 5000 of them. It was wonderful, the old buildings overlooking the Elbe River, great views everywhere you look!

Back home we took an anniversary nap, then got ready for our next adventure: the Elbphilharmonie! This awesome building is a piece of art itself, spectacular and breathtaking! We had tickets to see Naji Hakim, a world famous organ player. And seeing him at the Elbphilharmonie was a special treat: the organ there is as spectacular as the building, the sound is moving through your body like sweet vibrations!

The brick building was built in the 70s as a coffee, tea and cocoa warehouse. Then, in 2017 they finished the transformation into a hotel, apartments were built in, a parking garage and workshops for the musicians, etc. They added the whole top for the Symphonie, which is spectacular!
The organ is the size of a 2-story house!
Dressed up for this special evening!

We had the perfect seats: second row and from an angle where we could see the organist playing. Just watching his hands and feet do four different movements simultaneously with such perfection was outstanding! I guess he must have lost 5000 calories during this event!

  1. What a beautiful place for an anniversary concert! I also love to watch the hands of an organist while they’re playing. Hamburg looks like a pretty town. Happy anniversary!
