Thanks Mark
Berlin has been great so far, but then I haven't been here 24 hour yet.
The only bad part about this right now is that my wireless doesn't work at the hotel, it's not compatible. 
I'm going to see what else can be done, seems funny not having access to the web when ever I want it.But I did have a real nice dinner at this little hole in the wall place. I don't think that there was a tourist in the place besides us.

Yes! Yes! I am more than interested. I get to go spinning! I got a few strange looks last night when I found a little green space at the hotel and did a little practicing.

yes, there are. My favorite when I was there was a little hole in the wall thai/vietnamese place in Mitte called "Mounsieur Voung's". Very yummy.
There's still green around in Berlin? When I was there 3 weeks ago, the leaves were heavily falling already, so I'm amazed it's not all brown yet.

Vance you can keep the sushi, I've never gotten into the stuff.

Yup, that still counts, and is way more than I was expecting. It was already getting rather cold while I was there. That amount of cold would have turned the grass brown over here after just a few days.

The temperature is OK if you can just stay out of the wind. This wind can get cold. Brrrrrr.

actually we've been having reasonable weather the last few days - warmer than when Spritie was here.
And the leaves continue to fall. There seems to be a limitless supply of leaves in Berlin. The sidewalks are thick with 'em!
and I was thinking about taking Gidg to Monsour Vuongs tonight actually...

It's actually thai/vietnamese and is *yummy*
You'll be able to smell the place from just a little up the street. Assuming you're not opposed to ethnic food, I'm sure you'll think it's dreamy too. Super Gidg!!!!

No I love ethnic food. I wish I could remember the name of the place but there is a great India place in Dallas, I miss it.

Berlin's got some great Indian places as well. Maybe you could get Babajaga or vanize to tell you the location of one so that you can go there for dinner on another night.

The place that I was talking about in Dallas as absolutely great. An Indian friend of mine took me there for lunch, I think I was the only person there that wasn't Indian.

Do you remember where in Dallas it was? I grew up there, so know the city. I'm also debating going to my brothers new house for Thanksgiving and he lives just north of town.

I'm soooo sorry that you can't make dinner Babajaga, but at least you're making the spin.
Spritie, I have absolutely no idea. After all it was something like 15 or 16 years ago.
I think I'm getting old. nope, just a figment of someone elses imagination. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.
