It's hard to imagine that we have now been in Berlin for 3 whole months. In some ways, it feels like we've always been here and don't know how we never managed to live anywhere else. And in other ways, it's strange to think that we were so settled into a far more...

As has more or less been the usual routine, Ayla woke us up at about 6:45 this morning. We fed her and then took her for a walk at around 8 and our friends were awake by then also since the auto repair guy was supposed to come at 9 am. Since they have a small market...
