Arrival in Berlin!


After a busy 2 weeks since my last post, we have finally arrived in Berlin!  The flights were all on time, and we didn't loose any luggage.  We took the X9 bus from the airport to the zoo, walked to PV and got our key, then took a taxi to our apartment.  We had some trouble figuring out which one was ours, but after about 15 minutes, we happened to run into Friedegund, our cute landlady, who let us in and showed us around.  Our apartment is actually kind of an extension of hers, with wood floors and 12 foot ceilings.

After moving our stuff in, we turned on the water heater and immediately slept for about 4 hours.  We woke up at 7pm, took showers, and went on a food hunt.  We found Bio-Market, a little organic store pretty close to our apartment; then at the Wilmerdsorfer Arcaden, Alnatura, a bit larger with more selection, and Netto, a plain grocery store right next door.  For dinner, we made bratwurst (which was amazing), rice, and garbanzo beans.  We did get some bottled water, but it is about impossible to figure out which ones aren't fizzy, so that is on the list for tomorrow. 

Now we are watching the Spongebob cartoon in German.  Gute nacht!
