Berlin

I have heard that Berlin is the most happening city in Europe right now. I haven´t quite noticed that yet, but perhaps I am going out during the wrong time of day. Being daytime and not the bright lights and good times of clubbing time.

While the city isn´t quite ALL that I had been led to expect, it is fascinating and chockful of history. Every so often I look around and remember that not so long ago, this city was two cities. That these pieces of concrete decorating parts of the city are reminders of a time when horrible things happened directly after even more horrible things.

My hostess grew up in this city while it was occupied territory. I can´t even imagine.
