brief note on germany

i will get back to italy and germany, but just wanted to mention how much i loved seeing iris and vera and jan in germany. i felt like the two and half years just faded away or the past nine months went by in no time. vera and i sat at a fountain and talked for such a long time which made us really happy. my mother's visa card almost was eaten and we had an interesting time with a tree and a train...but more to come later.
