After an exciting weekend at the Coda DACH retreat in Werftpfuhl (in die nähe Berlin):
I am now spending a couple of days at Armin and Nicki´s place in Templehof while Manuela´s mother is visiting. After she arrived in the morning we had a typical Frühstück of cheese, bread, meats, marmalade and chatted for near 2 hours.
In Templehof there is the Flughäfen which was built in 1923 and is typical of Third Reich architecture...meant to be very post-modern (in my opinion). Here there is the Luftbrücke, a monument to the Berlin airlift memorializing the many pilots who lost their lives.
While there we also met Knut...no, not the polar bear in the Zoologisher Garten, but an actual person, German, friend of Armin´s, who had attended Gaulladet University a few years ago and was able to converse in ASL.

William,
The journal you have been writing for all of us to read has been so amazing. I have truly enjoyed "reading" and "seeing" what you are doing. Although I have never been to Germany, I have been to Europe a few times and I can really relate to the surreal experience of walking through history. You've done an amazing job of capturing the essence of what you are seeing. Thank you for sharing. I will keep reading!
We all miss you here in S Florida!
Sandy
