Day 1 in Berlin

August 12, 2009

Today included a flash back to the dark ages. And by dark ages I mean the days before cell phones. I navigated my way from the airport onto the bus and met Tess at a stop about thirty minutes later. Since I don’t have a phone here we were both quite worried about actually meeting each other. Luckily things worked out smoothly.

I met her two roommates, I took a nap, and we headed out for a walk. We went to the “beach” which was actually a swimming pool on a river where we drank beers and lounged in the sun. Then we walked around a park and took the bus to the bar where Tess used to work. We met some guys from Israel, Australia, and Ireland.

Later in the evening we went to a bar near Tess’s house for her roommates’ last night in Berlin. We returned to the apartment around 2am and watched part of The Wedding Singer before bed.
