It's been quite cold. It probably isn't colder than in New England but when you don't have a car and walk everywhere the cold feels colder much more quickly and it is cold- we are in the very minus temperatures here and according to a news article these are the coldest tempertaures to hit Germany so far. And we have gotten some snow. We have had a few flakes here before but this is real snow. First yesterday when I headed to pick up B from school there was a short but sweet mini blizzard and it felt like a real snow storm for about 20 minutes. I love how quiet a city becomes when it really snows and then there were the sweet shrieks of B's classmates in the school yard, "Wir lieben schnee" (we love snow) and the grumbling young travelers smoking outside of the hostel we walk by "i'm going to need some fucking boots and a fucking hat." Even B had to smile.
And then it snowed again today. F slept over at a friends house last night which also made me very happy (she has friends!). And when she returned this afternoon it had started to snow again and we decided to venture out again across the city back to the neighbourhood of the KaDeWe to walk around, windowshop and enjoy a bowl of ramen at one of the cities number one rated Ramesn shops. It was a long and goofy subway ride, a fun walk and a delicous meal.
