Ending the media blackout

Schöne Grüße aus Berlin!

Leaving Boston:
Hay Ben
Bye Bed
Newbury Street

I arrived in Berlin on July first From Boston - I hope to visit more of Dublin than just it's airport next time.

buh.
Tastes like Ireland

Anyway, I arrived and was met by Marco who has been a great friend and guide here.

What I could have really used here was some sleep, but I stayed up and beat the jetlag.

Sailing on Wansee with Martin
A small generator/alternator that powers a small headlight and taillight on my bike
Near KaDeWe, near Zoologischer Garten
Mmmm Deutsches Essen. Würst, Kraut und Kartoffel. Lecker.
Homeless people having a BBQ and waving to us on the boat.
Oberbaumbrücke at dust from a boat tour.
Vanessa in the hall of our apartment house
Also on the Oberbaumbrücke, not from a boat.
Obamarama in Berlin, I was one of 200,000
and the other direction
our friend Martin
The small prices live here.
We have a big window that opens up like a door - it is very nice for warm days.
Me and the Veyron
Getting my German bank account
and my Visa
Riding bikes near the Zoo - our main method of transport.

So, life is good - I would say it is an adjustment to live here, but it is a very different city from Boston, and I am a very different part of it here as well.
