I have returned

Went to Berlin this weekend.  It involved:

--waking up at 3 am to catch a bus, then a plane, then a train ride
--Mexican food and drinks until check-in time at 2 pm
--a hostel called The Circus
--schnitzel
--a Couch Surfing party
--an exhibit on Bauhaus
--a stroll by the Berlin Wall
--Checkpoint Charlie
--Berlin reunification festival
--a 3 hour meal at a Spanish TAPAS restaurant
--my professor throwing down with us
--capoeira-style dancing in a Berlin basement bar
--graffiti-covered parking garages transformed into clubs
--dancing on stage to German techno
--lots of making out in public
--a fantastic 5 euro breakfast buffet
--a very disturbing visit to a concentration camp
--a fancy 3 hour dinner with gourmet schnitzel and live music
--RYANAIR

Many stories to tell but no time / patience to tell them.  Mostly, I'm just happy.
