All good things must come to an end and I’m on the flight back to JFK, saying my “auf weidersehen” to Berlin and to a spring break that I will never forget. I’ve seen so much this week — the city’s architecture, embassies, a soccer game, the major monuments and the day-to-day activities of Berliners on the U-Bahn. I’ve laughed so much and was just silly with new friends in a remarkable city. It felt so good to return to Europe and made me certain that I will do it again — soon.
All right, we’re at cruising altitude. It’s time to get some homework done, as I know reality will hit like a brick once I return. But the Berlin memories will keep me going for a long, long time. And as Marlene Dietrich, the famous Berlin actress said, “Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin.” I still keep a suitcase in Berlin.
