Yesterday I got a late start. The weather was very nice, but despite staying in on Saturday night, I wasn't highly motivated to get up Sunday. Apparently, the same is true for today, although I had trouble falling asleep last night.
Anyway...yesterday was the festival for the 20th anniversary of the German reunification (10 months after the wall fell 9 Nov 89). It was a such a beautiful day so Marcos and I just walked around the Tiergarten and through the festival ending up on the lawn in front of the Bundestag (the German capital building). It was a nice, low key day.

Today, I am going to try to meet up with some American's who I've been introduced to through facebook by people back in the U.S. Otherwise I'll just be reading and practicing German I guess. I want to explore my new neighborhood and meet with my soon to be landlord/roommate.
3 days til my London Birthday excursion!
