The sky is the limit in Groningen
She climbed the last steps to what was the ridge of the building. It was too warm to climb, but she longed for the fresh breeze on the rooftop terrace and a cold beer. The sun was about to set, so she could just catch a glimpse of the sky turning orange and pink with the Martini Tower in the distance. Magical. In the background, she heard the music swelling. At this moment, she realized that sometimes you need to rediscover the beauty around you in a city like Groningen from a different vantage point.
