Today its rainy Thursday but have my umbrella and my monatekarte and ready to go...not too hectic of a plan...from 1600 to 2000 hours I want to go to the Sammlung Berggruen which is a private museum not too far from here. 
There I want to see the Picassos that are there. One of them will be his Head of Woman in a brightly-colored Hat (1939). Thursday evening admission is free.
No photo album today but I did throw together the following video to show what the area I´m staying in looks like:
I have been getting to know the person who runs the Internet Cafe here in Wilmersdorf...a sweet woman from Vietnam. When I told here I was from the United States she held up her arms in defense and told me that her house had been bombed and she had escaped from Vietnam years ago to come to Germany...I told her I was sorry and that Ich war denn ein Junge. She understood and we actually hugged. She said that Nixon was a bad man. I told her yes, he was a criminal and left office in disgrace. And then she held her nose and said Bush...I felt very diplomatc; like Nancy Pelosi. At anyrate, I couldn´t disagree with her.
Last night I went down to the Bear during happy hour to possibly meet the friends I had made last week...I knew one of them had an exam to take last evening so would probably not show along with his friend; the other wasn´t even here any longer. So no show but overall it was fun hearing all the german being spoken and trying to speak some in that situation...a bit frustrating cause the place was getting loud.
