Live and learn. Last week they said Zelensky was the traffic diversion and today it was Biden? I had a wonderful time with new friends but have not yet navigated nite-time buses. My goal is to be in before sundown when traveling abroad. Oops! The details would bore you but the schedule said next bus…

On the Street Where You Work
What is the difference between a Roma gypsy art student and a mandolin-playing old gypsy guy? There is none in reaching people before the Lord returns. I had boasted about an art outreach in 2023 in the foothills near Shkoder, Albania, where YWAM missions people, John and Mary serve. They were kind to let me…
What Is Turkish Pizza?
I know what it is. It is a good idea that just may help you make it in a new country where you lack language and skills. It is innovation that helps us survive changing times. I saw the sign from a bus or train today and may not try it but applaud the effort….
German Potluck
According to my language app, the German word for potluck is potluck. I was going the wrong way on a bus this morning but still made it to the church on time. The songs we sang were mostly in German but you will recognize some titles; Open the Eyes of My Heart, Worthy is the…
Power, Presence, and the Occasional Bulldog
There is a large bulldog guarding my door since I arrived with groceries for tomorrow’s church potluck. I think it’s the food bag and not my safety that concerns him. I saw other creatures (people) today. The same gypsies ride the trains with their mandolins. I did not see this practice in Prague. They play…

So Prague was so new and different. Then I got used to some things and the people are the best. Now, a few days in Berlin and it is so new and different. I will get used to some things but long for familiar things. The one thing God did right is people are people…
Two Sleeps in Berlin
It has been an interesting two days. I wanted to show you the commute to the library first. Pastor Larry gave good directions and accompanied me the first day. First a walk to a bus stop. Then a train. Then some more walking. Here are some views around the library in Berlin called Connections, ‘A…
Retraction
Not quite a retraction but I had time today to visit a typical (looked like US) shopping mall. We leave for the mountains of Tabor this afternoon then I will be moving on to the Berlin library so will not be writing until I resettle. I had mentioned the unfriendly, stoic mom’s on the tram…
What Am I Doing?
At the library. Thanks for the photos, Laurie.
To and Fro
I’m starting with some pictures of my arriving at the flat. The reason I went on the haunt after a long library day is the lack of mail boxes. I found one a 13 minute walk away which took me to a restaurant called the Postal. I entered & asked about mailing postcards and the…
