We're on the autobahn headed for Berlin with darkening skies ahead.

There's a speed limit here of 130 kilometers (80 mph). Saturday, August 14: - - While Dan watched the Olympics, Frank, Bill and I went into Berlin and spent the day looking around the city. - - We returned to the house and Frank cooked bratwurst on the grill which he served with potato salad that Dan had made. We ate outside in the garden. - - That evening Frank, Bill and I went back into Berlin to meet Pascal, a bootman from France who was also visiting Berlin. Pascal also has a web site about boots... mainly tall riding boots. The four of us, plus occasional others who stopped by, had a pleasant evening at the tables outside of LeMoustache, a bar that Frank likes. It was a pleasure meeting Pascal after emailing with him off and on for five or six years! The train approaches that will take us into Berlin.
