The First Day

Ok, not really the first day...we spent the first half of the day traveling from DC-Berlin, and the 2nd half of the day in Berlin. In my grumpy tiredness, I started keeping a "Europe vs. USA" list in my head. So far, the score is 2-2. Europe earned 2 points for better coffee and friendlier airline staff. USA earned 2 points for no smoking and speaking English. No, I am not looking forward to the next 10 months negatively. I am actually very excited for what is to come! I'm just tired and everyone here is speaking German. Here's to good sleep and somehow learning a language fluently in my dreams!
