ruhig = quiet
Since the night we arrived, Jack and I have been able to get very little sleep. Each night, I toss and turn for at least 3-4 hours, thinking about anything and everything. Jack says that he does the same. At first we attributed this tossing and turning to jetlag. That probably has something to do with it, but last night, at around 1:00am Berlin time, we figured out why we can't sleep. It's quiet...silent...you hear nothing! No trees rustling, no sirens whaling, no crickets/cicadas chirping....totally and completely ruhig. Usually, there are sounds or a fan in our room to act as background noise, but with nothing, Jack and I were going crazy without needed shut-eye. This morning, we ventured back to Karstadt, purchasing the cheapest fan possible. We don't care about the cooling aspect of the fan, we care about the noise that it makes. Cross your fingers that we are able to sleep tonight!
