the three kids are all from brown on exchange for this semester at the humboldt university here. They have all taken 3 years of german at brown! we met them through ryan when he was here and we decided to keep hanging out.

peter is ben's boss and miriam is his wife... they are great. 

miss you guys a lot! i wish i could just steal you all, berlin is so vibrant right now!

we are getting ready for another long stretch of visitors. ben's dad is coming next week for 4-5 days before he moves back to l.a. right after him our friend tim (who works with ben) is coming back from down under and needs a place to crash for 1-2 weeks while he finds a new apartment. then david from calarts is coming back for about three weeks because he loves it here. he is going to chip in on rent so that's nice! Then ben's ma, aunt, grandma, and cousin are all coming for a little over a week and then about a week later ma comes!!! its going to be crazy, again.

also, i am starting school again this week. i am having aviva, my german speaking friend help me get into more interesting classes.

love you all
