BERLIN BABY!!!


Several weeks late, but better than late than never.

During our winter vacation, I was lucky enough to be invited to visit my German friends A&U for the second time. Staying with them was a little slice of heaven, like being surrounded by family and the familiar even though I was in a country that wasn't my own trying to decipher a language I've never spoken nor understood. I think Germany will always have a special little place in my heart for that. It lets you belong to a little piece of it.
