I made it to Germany!
After a somewhat painful flight to Frankfort, I ventured on to Berlin where I caught a train to Brandenburg an der Havel. I checked into my suite at the Girono Pension after some confusion with the receptionist, then slept for about 13 hours. The continental breakfast consists of pork liver patte, bread, soft boiled eggs and extremely salty meats and cheeses. They have cereal as well, but it is the super sweat stuff that one can only stomach as a child. I have resorted to eating rolls with butter and jam. I am afraid to eat any other meal and seem to be starving myself. I finally made it to the store yesterday where I bought some wasser (water) and green beans. I had nearly fainted the day before due to low blood sugar.
The coffee is amazing here, likely due to the whole milk!
I am rather amused by the older men that seem to feel perfectly respectable running there motor boats through the town center in Speedos. I have seen a few of them now. There are also several Russian woman in town that dress up in globs of makeup and teenyweeny clothing.
The hair here is hilarious. I see 60 year old woman with bright purple hair and big sunglasses. I have seen woman my age walking around with Cruela Duvil style hair with poofiness and skunk stripes and all. I just can´t get enough. I wish it was appropriate to take pictures to share.
