Such Is Life! (So ist das Leben!)

Yesterday was a sad day as I mourned the loss of my beloved, prized HAI Ceramic Flatiron. Knowingly, but unknowingly, I plugged it in without the converter needed for the large amount of wattage it used. POP! And it was gone...Oh well services will be held upon return to the states, but it will be replaced...Soon!

On Monday, we also met with our German Language Teacher, Teresa! We will have 15 private 90 munite sessions with her beginning this Friday at 2:30PM in our apartments common area! What fun! I'll keep you posted...afterwards Ray & I went to a nice French Cafe for Gelato. It was amazing! Visitors look forward... Among other things we went on a visit to the Central Train Station, had lunch at the Mensa (the university cafe), which has AMAZING FOOD @ GREAT PRICES! Most importantly, Ray got his OFFICE! Very nice, spacious, great view! Loved it! Will post pics soon. I left my CAMERA BATTERY CHARGER in the states! Go figure...
