this is probably the only time i'll ever fully use my 30 pictures limit here - well, it's for a good purpose: on friday, i'll be flying home to berlin to meet my old school buddies (including our absolutely fabulous young teacher karin!); celebrating the 40th anniversary of our school enrollment in berlin-spandau, grundschule am beerwinkel.
