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.

are there any particular gnomes the locals are telling you to seek out or you wanna get to?

The different poses are so cool.

I identify with the sleeper.

Haha, totally. I definitely want to check out Papa Dwarf for the historical significance, but otherwise I actually really enjoy the experience of just stumbling upon them. Once you realize they're around, it's like you start finding a new one around every corner. I like it when cities surprise me, and this is a very good version of that.

that's great, enjoy! stumbling around is how i like to discover features of a city too, and the intricacy and sheer volume of those dwarves seems like they would really enhance that sort of urban wandering.
