Dinner with Teresa in Berlin!

Dinner with Teresa in Berlin!

We were on out way for a hike when the maintenance man arrived to complete some minor repairs on the apartment.  We had to forgo the hike so we could get the work done – otherwise he would leave and come back later (if ever).  Right now we are the only one here so we need to get all these little issues resolved before everyone is competing for attention. 

The last Monday that we were at Bad Saarow, we went to Berlin to have dinner with Teresa who is Doris’ niece.  Last year she completed her Masters degree with honors and took time off for a world tour.  She is currently working at a youth hostel in Berlin while she tries to get into the German equivalent of the Peace Corps for a tour in South American – preferably in either Argentina or Columbia.  She fell in love with South America when she was there.  She wants to spend a year there with the German “Peace Corps” to work on her Spanish.  She hopes to eventually work and live in South America.  It’s always fun to spend time with Teresa.  She is so funny, intelligent and articulate.  She actually speaks English better than I do with almost no accent.  She is one of the most adventurous people I know. 

When we arrived Teresa was not quite finished work so we sat outside and drank some water while we waited.  I watched people pass which is a favorite pastime for me in Berlin.  You never know who you will see or from where.   Teresa wanted to go to a new museum – when he got there it was closed.  We all forgot that museums are closed on Monday.  We then walked over the king’s palace and walked around the gardens along the river – enchanting.  We then drove to a restaurant on the Spree River where he had dinner – as usual excellent food.  It was a nice afternoon spent with family.  It was an excellent way to end the last day or our vacation in Bad Saarow.  

I'm still working on the photo issue.
