In Berlin

We made it to Berlin with no problems. Well, amost no problems... Kitty is still loud even on children's benadryl. Here she is in her carrier. But the only way we could calm her down was to keep her under my coat! All the kids on the plane loved her, but the TSA agents didn't so much.

We have a temporary apartment in Zehlendorf, which is a 20 minute walk from the institute. Here is a view from the balcony. The place is very small and yesterday the doorknob came off in my hand. I think we are going to move as soon as we can!

Yesterday Germany destroyed Australia in the world cup, 4-0. There were lots of fireworks and car horns after the game. At the moment, everyone at the institute is watching Holland-Denmark, and since most of them are from Holland there is a lot of orange in the room. Who knew that orange was the national color of Holland? I didn't.
