update

Sorry for the delay.  I don’t have a computer at my house so it is a bit inconvenient to use the Internet.  I have been keeping busy these past few weeks.  Most afternoons we’ll take a walk around the city and try and find something new.  There is quite a few interesting little corners to check out in Berlin. 

Last weekend we participated in the Long Night of the Museums.  For €8, one can visit any museum between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m..  We stopped by the Academy of Art, the Museum of the Kennedys, a photography gallery, and the Museum of Medicine, which was interesting but turned me off of a career in medicine.  I would have too much trouble coping with the things I saw.  The photography gallery interested me the most, I would say.  Exhibited were three quite different artists with work ranging from the Sixties to today.

Last night we attended a orchestra concert at the Berlin Konzerthaus in Gendarmenmarkt.  The building itself was beautifully designed in a classic European motif on the inside and added an element of the past to the music.  A few pieces sounded almost predictable and nice, but two of the compositions struck me particularly hard.  My appreciation for classical music has certainly grown as a result.

 I have to get going home for dinner, but I will post another update soon.  Till then,
