Last week one of F's best friends from Maine came to Berlin to visit. She got on a plane all by herself and flew across the ocean to visit us. She and F had been counting down the days for months and it was a really lovely visit. The weather could have been better- it was cold and hailed here 4 times during the week, F got sick for 2 days foiling some of the plans- but all in all it was great to have a person from home. A person who brought greetings from our entire little town - and see how despite 8 months apart the girls (and B) fell right back into their friendships. It was a lot of fun to show her around Berlin and see it again through her eyes. We did some touristy things, mixed with mundane everyday activities like the grocery store and orthodontist. We had a paper airplane challenge, chased bubbles, ate street food and toured playgrounds and the zoo. The kids laughed a lot, goofed around and loudly marched through the streets playing games and chanting "alcohol, cigarettes, dirty streets...Berlin" their Berlin chant. We hope Berlin left some other impressions as well.
