I'd like to say that we haven't posted in a while due to the fact that we've been having wild adventures in Berlin, but that wouldn't be true. Instead, we've mostly been trying to avoid the oppressive heat while also trying to find a place to live for a while.
Most of the time in these parts the temperature never exceeds 30°C (86°F) and so the city is ill equipped for the temperatures (no A/C in most places). We've had to be creative with moist towels and cold beer.
The good news is that we will have plenty of time to explore Berlin as month-long residents of the city. I've landed a computer programming gig from a former employer back in the US and I need to hunker down and get to work! As for the blog, we'll still be sharing our thoughts about living in Germany and we'll also be taking side trips to explore the surrounding country. And, yes, we'll eventually get caught up with old posts and tell you all about DC, Maryland, New York and the wedding in Holland.
Until then, here are a few pictures (and a road video) from Berlin.

Good to hear from you! Sorry you have to suffer through the heatwave while sightseeing and apt. hunting. Our weatherman reported that it was 114 degrees yesterday in Phoenix. We will be in the high 90's all week with high humidity thrown in for good measure. The park looks serene and cool. Just don't tell me if that's where you are "camping out" these days! :)
