ok. we are in berlin. it's cold and snowy but the city is way better than the band steve says. we slept at a cheap-as hostel last night and tonight spent the day in town, mostly at the german history museum which is fitting as both our ancestors came from here at one time. lots of war pictures and such. it's one of the few museum topics (war) that keep steve awake i've found. steve maybe rolled his ankle on the ice and for sure dropped our bread on the street. i rescued it. it was still yummy. tomorrow we're taking a free tour. if steve's ankle can handle it. from now on, i hold the bread. (you know, cuz he might drop it on the road again).
interesting fact for the starbucks addicts back home: a small tea and americano at starbucks here cost more than a bottle of wine, loaf of bread, salami, and tomato sauce that we had for supper. we found this out the hard way.
until next time.

stikki.
