Today is the trip home!We arrived back in Berlin on Friday and took a tour of the Deutsche Welle - a media company that is state funded and broadcasts German news around the world. But they are not propoganda and are "very different" from VOA. Whatever.
My good friend of 21 years, Matthias Rabe, came up from Frankfurt for a quick visit. Friday night he came out with the group of us for a nice night out in Berlin. On Saturday Matthias and I took the train out to Potsdam. This is an odd little town to the east of Berlin. It is the site of a huge summer castle for some old king (don't remember which), and formerly in the DDR. It is heavily visited by tourists and is an odd mix of run-down communist town and touristy castle town. Nonetheless, we strolled, ate Donner kepabs, and did a little gift shopping (hi babe!).
A final group dinner on Saturday night and then home on Sunday.
Andi and I leave directly from the airport to head west. 3000 miles, 5 days, one car. Talk about all or nothing - two weeks with barely any contact, and then lots of car time together.
