Its Tuesday, Day 2 in Germany. I have now done the 1.3 mile trek between PV and our apartment 3 different ways - (1) walking this morning (25 minutes), (2) X10 bus along Kurfurstendamm (5-10 minutes, but the bus was right there when I got to the stop) and (3) any of the S-bahn lines leaving our stop headed east (5-10 minutes, and there's a train every 3 minutes during the day). I also have a German cell phone now, thanks to Angela, who had an extra one that I could use. I only had to buy a €10 sim card, and I can use that money for minutes, which is 5 cents/min for other T-mobile cell phones in Germany (which they are getting for Brian later this week) and 15 cents per minute anywhere else in Germany.
I've walked about 3 miles so far today - Brian and I made a list of little things we needed this morning over breakfast, which included stuff like hand soap, trash bags, food saver containers, toilet paper, etc. I haven't found everything yet, but I have made a handful of trips back and forth from various stores because I can't carry very much at a time. The most helpful place has been Ullrich, they seem to have stuff Netto does not. I'm still trying to decide where I can find a laundry hamper... might need to ask someone about that.
