On September 15, 2006 I said goodbye to a dear friend. They were with me for my akward first day of high school. They stayed with me for those angsty years. They even remained with me as I ventured off to college. They experiemented with me as I tried on activism, modern dance, and random costumes. They graduated with me. Came with me to my first 'real job'. They were even with me for my first 'crap job'. They were with me for my F-ups and my accomplishments. They were there to play tether ball. They were with me for my latest chapter in my life here in Germany. But, as we've all learned at some time in ourlives, nothing stays forever.
After ten years it was time to say goodbye to my Birkenstocks.
Here they are before taking their final journey: A burial at sea.
For the ceremony I attached them to a raft, set it on fire, and sent them off out onto the Elbe River.
