we made it! wir sind in Berlin!
first impressions everyone!
i spent three hours at the airport after you left with your host families to fill out lost luggage reports for nine different people and addresses. your luggage is supposed to arrrive from amsterdam at 5.30 pm local time.
see you tomorrow at 9.30 at subway stop franzoesische strasse. remember that if you get off friedrichstrasse, ask how to get to the stop at franzoesische strasse. it is not far. go downstairs once you reach that stop. we will take a walk from there and go to The Story of Berlin in the afternoon.
you were all excellent travelers. I appreciate your patience, especially those of you whose luggage stayed behind in amsterdam.

best,
J Baker
