Ich bin ein Berliner!

Yes, I'm back. Was told I had to blog "so we knew where we've been." 🤷‍♂️

Yes, we are in Berlin. For 4 nights. Three full days, starting tomorrow.

This will be "brief." Highlights of trip over & (part) day 1:

  • A kid on the plane wailed the first our. I think it was "too tight " over & over, but maybe it wasn't English (did I mention we were 80 mins late taking off?)
  • A woman on the flight had tattoos up her leg to her ass crack. How do I know, you ask? Bc she was wearing the smallest pair of denim cutoffs in history. As one of companions said, "you rode 8 hours on the plane w a constant wedgie?!"
  • The street food thing in Berlin is currywurst. Yes, a brat w a sauce made of ketchup & curry. Really. I had it for dinner. (Pictured?)
  • We did a third of a bus tour on & off thing b4 two of three were asleep (names withheld to protect the old & infirm). 
  • But what we saw was a constant reminder of a) it used to be a divided city (we are staying a block from the line) & b) the Allies destroyed a lot in WW 2
  • Brandenburg Gate is impressive (US Embassy is right next to it) 
Well, that'll do for today. My Fitbit says I got 2 hours & 9 mins of sleep 😥
