Update from Berlin
Apparently it’s quite hot in Berlin and there is no air conditioning at the hotel. Or at the conference, where people are hot enough in the lectures that they’re taking off their shoes to add foot funk to European swarthy body funk. No restaurants seem to take credit cards, which makes eating even more difficult than just being a vegetarian. Add in a craaaazy language you don’t speak with some folks being real jerks and I can see why she’s not having a decent time.
Hope you get to come home early, darlin.
