5 Days in Berlin

People think I am crazy to go across the Atlantic just for a few days. But when you only get three weeks of vacation a year, you've got to take your opportunities when you can!

The main theme of this trip was to visit with dear old friends Dan Rosen and Noel Ponthieux, now living in London, who met me in Berlin to explore the city together. We are all New Orleans refugees, so there was a lot to talk about. Since living in New Orleans together, I have lived in Seattle and completed my master's degree at UM in Ann Arbor; they've sold their house in New Orleans (just before the hurricane) and emigrated to the UK. There was a lot of catching up to do.

We were all pretty wowed with the laid back, cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city.Inspired by a photo essay in the Berlinishe Galerie of life in Berlin in the 60s, we left harboring fantasies of starting our own Berlin commune, and planning German lessons.

Take a look at Dan and Noel's amazing dinner blog to get details on our Berlin dining adventures!
