Einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!!!

I'm a little under the weather, so I won't be typing an epic blog today...still in Berlin, still loving it! New Year's was fantastic--the Berliners really know how to celebrate! Fireworks are legal here, so everyone had 'em, it was like a war zone here! The streets were filled with people and fireworks, a massive celebration to say goodbye to last year and hello to the one to come. The clubs stay open pretty much all night here, and on New Years, some of them don't close at all! And at 8am, when my dancing shoes couldn't dance no mo', the Berliners still packed the dance floor, going strong. I guess some of them sleep all night and then go out at 8am to celebrate all day!

Here's to Berlin!!!
