Today is Wednesday 23 September 2009. Yesterday was our arrival day. Our travel connections were very easy. That was a good thing because we had been up for quite some time. Sleep on the flight from Portland to Amsterdam was not the best although we obviously had rested. So much so that when we arrived at Tegel Airport here in Berlin from Amsterdam we decided to brave the public transit system immediately. We took the bus to Hauptbahnhof train station where we got the M41 bus that dropped us in the Kreuzeberg area near Dieffenbachstrasse, the street where we live. I was obviously a bit tired since many photo opportunities presented themselves and I didn't take advantage of them.
Meet Olga and Nadja...
Nadja and Olga are the women who we are exchanging with this time. Here's a shot of them when they visited us last week in Portland. Their home is quite lovely and is in the eclectic Kreuzeberg section of Berlin. On the Flickr link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lavallelinn/sets/72157622437023946/), I've included a number of photos of their home and our walk around Kreuzeberg yesterday afternoon. I did capture this one to show us what time it was while we were out and about. Kreuzeberg has quite a Turkish population including a bazaar that we wandered into.
