Berlin Bound

First we must apologize for our absence the past week. There has not necessarily been much of note here. I was approved for my residency permit (though just this afternoon we learned that despite what we had been initially told, I will have to pay some fees- boo!), and took a test in my Romanian class and received a diploma! B finished his work at the Holocaust Institute yesterday and has had some productive days at the National Archives. We had a quiet weekend spent enjoying a nice dinner with friends on Friday, sampling a new Chinese Restaurant (more on this later) and running some errands.

Currently we are preparing for our trip to Berlin tomorrow. We are excited to see our friends, see Berlin and have a break from the usual routine. We will be there for a whole week, just long enough to really see the sights and get a feel for the city. Now we just have to finish packing and get a good night's sleep. -S

PS--A particular highlight of the week was receiving a package from S's parents. Thanks! -B
