Hey,
The last few days have had a considerable amount of excitement. My last day of Amsterdam was spent gathering a few more pictures of Amsterdam in order to give me some more to work with for my mosaic map. I stopped by my favorite sammich shop one more time, walked down the canals, and on back to the hotel when the raid started coming down. We finished off the night with a farewell dinner at some Indonesian place hosted by our friends at IES. Although the flesh-eaters seemed to like it quite a bit, there wasn't much variety for the vegetarians, and we were dismayed. We then went home to pack, as the buses left for the airport the next morning at 4:30. I got three hours of sleep after packing, and woke up in time to jump in the bus. In my haste of getting out in the morning, I somehow forgot my digital camera, I think. It still hasn't showed up in the hotel when I had someone ask them, but I'm optimistic that it will show up. For that reason, you'll have to forgive the lack of images in the next post or two.
We landed in Berlin at about 8 or 9:00, and spent the day moving into our new housing and getting the IES introduction to Berlin. Our digs are INCREDIBLE! As John said, "This will probably be the nicest apartment you live in for the next ten years." They are quite spacious four-person apartments complete with a living room and a kitchen! There is no internet in the apartment, although that really doesn't phase me now that I can cook for myself.
Production deadlines are nearing on the horizon, and I have the London mosaic map nearly done, and the Amsterdam one should be done shortly. I was planning on taking a few thousand pictures of Berlin in the next few days in order to get going on my map for Berlin. However, the fact that my camera is less in Berlin and more in Amsterdam, that'll have to wait a little while. You can expect an update with the London map in the next day or two. I'm off to go cook lunch in my kitchen,
.:August
