After arriving at the wrong train station this morning, a wonderful lady at the ticket counter helped us to hop on a train that connected with our original train to Berlin. I was so certain that this would be our first major travel mishap - we were soooo lucky that she helped us to avoid disaster! The train ride itself was beautiful - we watched good-looking Dutch people riding their bikes all around the countryside, and happy cows grazing along small farms.
We arrived at the Berlin station exactly on schedule and eventually met up with one of Robert’s old friends from Santa Cruz named Luscias who drove us around our neighborhood for a little while. We then dined at a very traditional German restaurant named Markethalle where we both enjoyed some schnitzel. Luscias was kind enough to drop us off at our Airbnb apartment, where we met up with Mariam, the girlfriend of the apartment owner and apparently a pretty famous actress in Germany. She was very sweet and showed us around the apartment - thus began our adventure in Berlin!
