I'm in Berlin. currently standing beside a woman's washroom in Starbucks because it's the only place I can access wifi. I'm doing ok, except I accidentally took the wrong hop-on hop-off bus so I didn't have a route map. the tour part was good, I saw everything I wanted. the bad thing is that I got on at stop 5, which means I should've gotten off at stop 5, but the tour bus stopped for the night at stop1 - 4 stops from mine. so I'm kind of lost and stranded in Berlin. I think I'll be ok. if worst comes to worst, I can take a taxi back to the hotel. a lot less people speak English than I expected. I haven't heard from my husband, or anyone else for that matter since leaving on the train yesterday. if it's not too much to ask, could you be in touch regularly? I'm pretty isolated and hearing from home would be comforting. I'm ok but don't want to feel along the next 5 days. especially since my hotel room doesn't have wifi.

I'll write more later. the bus tour was good except my camera battery died half way through - our new camera from a full lithium battery. not cool and I have no way of charging it. but I suppose it doesn't matter since I also discovered that the memory card is missing. I suspect it's still in my computer at home and was not put back last time it was used. so in general it's been a day of successes and disappoints.

Berlin is very pretty though.
