Winter Sucks, Thank God it's Spring

Seriously, winter sucks, so I am quite glad that it is over and spring is here. Today was a beautiful spring day- and when the sun comes out- as previously observed- so do the Germans. Indeed, all of Berlin has been out and about lapping up the sun. Get that Vitamin D, people!

My room gets marvelous morning sun, and I spent the morning reading in my ersatz window seat- the door tilted open to let the sweet air in, as I read Kleist. When the shadows began to overpower the sun in my room, Lydia came over and we headed off to Treptower Park. Indeed, that is why winter sucks- you cannot get an ice cream and lay on the grass in the sun when there is ice and snow everywhere.
