Melissa:Berlin Calling

The Wall







Writing breifly to say we are alive, we are in Berlin, and we love it. I will sadly miss many details because i cannot possibly write about all of them in the time i have now to write. I have already neglected to report about our wonderful time in Prague.
I guess i am slipping from my post as a dedicated blogger but it is for the sake of actually being present in a place- which is what traveling allows you to do.

Berlin is raw and edgy, underground, dilapidated, random, stylish, thriving in destruction, broken but building- it is what san francisco is trying to be and what many european cities cannot be- they are too preserved, too pretty. It is a stark contrast from the curvy streets of prague.

Today (sample): woke up at noon, ate some icecream around 3, tried curry wurst and french fries with mayo, stopped into an old ruined church, walked into the new church next door commemorating the old one, walked around a street with shops, ate more icecream, had a beer at the visionary club dipping my toes in the river, ate doner kebab, now am preparing for a electro night out.

shoutout to mi padre-

Happy Birthday Dad!
