This is the park across the street from the library where I’ve been working. It’s pretty big, so I haven’t explored the whole thing yet… or much of it at all, really…

Welcome to the grand tour of my room/apartment in Berlin. I’ll be your tourguide.
Ok, no new pictures tonight, but an explanation of “the dancers” I mentioned last time. There was a week-long event here in Berlin, a festival for gymnastics/exercise, and as part of it there were performers here in the Sony Center doing a variety of things: dancing, jump-roping, flipping around on stage, etc. Since they’ve been gone, there’s been a little more space here, but not much; in general the Sony Center is a very busy place. (Not at 9 in the morning on a Sunday, though. So few people are here at that time that the wifi isn’t turned on; or, if it was, nobody noticed a problem with it for several hours, forcing me to go to an internet cafe to check my email.)
The Sony Center. They call it free wifi, but the price you pay is watching the dancers on stage. I’ll explain later…
I made it. More (low-res webcam) pics to come. Yes, I have a real digital camera, but these are quicker and easier to upload.
70 pages to go. By noon tomorrow that should be 60. By the end of the day tomorrow that should be 30. By Friday at 5:00pm it will be 0. Almost there.
I’m back after an unexpected trip home, not to mention an unintended absence from blogging. Oh well. I’ll try to be more active, especially considering my upcoming trip, but photos and stories may end up on another site… we’ll see…
