My partner and I just got to Wroclaw, Poland. I’m at a little bar having a beer, and there’s this little gnome statue nearby. Apparently, Wroclaw has over 1000 gnomes?! Apparently they’re an homage to the Orange Alternative, which was an absurdist anti-authoritarian movement in the Stalinist era.
People keep coming by with tourist maps. Feels almost like a scavenger hunt. I’m really enjoying being out here.
