Move in Workout
I ran through my apartment compound today, past the old burned down pool house that has an interesting story: in 1985, Reagan and Gorbatchev met for the first time to talk about the arms race. They met in Geneva Switzerland, at a mansion with beautiful grounds called Fleur D'eaus. That mansion&grounds is now the apartment complex where I live!
My dad found all this out when we moved here and found some pictures online from the Reagan-Gorbachev meeting and then took pictures of what the place looks like now... The mansion (now it's the offices of a catering company) is still there, among the newlybuilt modern little apartment buildings. So are the charred remains of the pool house where they met. Every time I run through that part of the compound the twampiest part of my heart singsbecause I feel like I'm right where history happened!
my family's apartment
So that was the interesting thing of my run today. I spent it thinking about how lucky I am to live here and how I'm going to miss it when I move!
