Last thursday I boarded a plane in Berlin at 06:30 and began a 27 hour journey home. I was the lucky one, because I made it home in that time, and Mindy missed her last connection in Salt Lake City (the one we were supposed to meet on) which also happened to be the last flight to Billings, and she had to sleep over night in the airport. Of course, flying standby, she was prepared for this possibility and had researched http://sleepinginairports.com/ .
Vilnius was beautiful, Warsaw was also really pretty, once we got there. Anyway, we spent our last few days in Berlin, our current favorite European city. Mindy was sick and I was tired, but we had some of the best weather we'd seen over the month and got out to walk and have a last look around. Berlin is really great. Really. The last night we had to switch hostels, and ended up at the same place that our friend Pete, the hostel guy, was staying. He took us across town and we had dinner together at Houdini, which seemed appropriate since MIndy has been playing at being a magician all month. We had a lovely time, and were really sad to say goodbye to our friend. But, we made it home, everything is fine, and we are now trying to decide what to do next. I am looking for work and Mindy is looking for a future. I think I will keep up this blog, once I am a little less tired and begin remembering things that were interesting. Until then I will be updating my resume, looking for jobs, and researching ways to get to China...
