I find myself quite looking forward to coming home today. I've had an amazing time in Berlin. I could happily visit again, going to more museums or seeing more amazing architecture or... being here in a season without winter sludge, perhaps.

The city leaves me with contradictions and questions. How much and in what ways does it matter what happened here 70 years ago? And 20 years ago? What kinds of things are happening today? I probably will do some reading on Berlin after I get home. I wonder how much of my positive feeling about the city are from the amazing new architecture and from missing New York City.

Whoa, I must've totally missed that you were going to Berlin. I would've tried to hook you up with a friend of mine who just moved there. I could see you two getting along really well...your artistic sensibilities and quirky senses of humor seem like they'd probably mesh well. Let me know if you find yourself heading for Berlin again ever! ;-)

Cool. If you want to give me your friend's coordinates (email/name/whatever) I might follow up electronically. :)
