Making you say

I’ve updated a lot of things about this blog, but the most noticeable is the look of it. It is also now iPhone-friendly. It should automatically provide an iPhone-formatted version when accessed from an iPhone or iPod Touch. Yay!

As a general rule, don’t expect my spelling of German words to be correct. But the potential of hilarious mistakes makes this worthwhile. We went for dinner at eight and ended up in the same restarant as last night. It’s one of the more affordable options, and the food is good. We sat inside and [...]

Well, we are here in Berlin and have made our way to the hotel. This is not a western style hotel, which I knew. It’s very nice, and the staff is very helpful. There were some concerns initially about the layout. It would require a lot of stairs for the room we had reserved. A [...]

Well, I have just been seated on the plane. We somehow got to the gate in time, so I guess a miracle occured. Seems like Continental has redeemed itself. If I have Internet access there, I’ll write the next entry from Berlin! Of course, there’s not much time to write now.

Just took off on leg one of this international trip. Leg one takes us from Columbus to Boston. This flight is on a cramped little Embraer commuter plane. I’ve composed a haiku for the occasion: Headed to Boston This plane is rather tiny At least it’s a jet

Since we are leaving for Berlin early tomorrow morning, today we took my mother’s dog to a kennel to stay while we are traveling. But before that, we let him enjoy himself at a dog park five minutes from the kennel. Here’s a few random pictures from there.

Had dinner tonight at Alex’s Bistro. Nice French/Italian fusion. Here’s a picture of the sign outside, because it was too dark inside for pictures.

Had a short stop at COSI this afternoon. Mostly, I went to see the Lost Egypt exhibit, which was created by COSI and will become a traveling exhibit, I believe. If you’re from Columbus, you know COSI. That stands for center of science and industry. It’s one of the country’s best science museums. Plus, my [...]
