Say what? Yep, that's right... Berlin freakin' SNOWED on me!!! I was on my way to a small group in Pankow last night, and all of a sudden I looked up, and there was WHITE STUFF falling from the sky. I thought maybe I'd gone crazy, but then later during the small group it snowed a little more. Nothing that really stuck, but still... it was November 1st!!! The day after Halloween!!! What!?!??!!?!??!
Anyways, some other crazy happenings:
After small group Tobi and I stopped by the Heimlichs to pick up my Turkish book which I left there over the weekend, and on the way, we saw TWO Trabis!!! (For those who don't know, a Trabi is the kind of car everyone drove in East Germany back in those days. They're really quite funny little cars.) I didn't know anyone actually owned a Trabi anymore, but then in one night I saw two!!! Tobi thought I was just weird, but I had to stop and check them out. As if they were in a museum or something. (I'm allowed to be a tourist once in awhile.)
Tuesday night was choir practice. I missed practice last week, so maybe I missed something, but something very strange happened. Practice ended an hour early, and within 5 minutes it was transformed into a party. Beer, wine, food out the wazoo... yeah, I was totally baffled. Germans.
Yesterday in my history class, I actually heard someone use the phrase, "It's all sausage to me." Translation: It's all the same to me. Same=sausage. Doesn't get any more German than that.

I Googled Trabi so I could see what they look like, and guess what? They have a Trabi Hard Rock Pin - it's available at the Berlin HRC!! Who does that remind you of? I might have to have one for my HRC pin collection. Remind me to check it out when we're visiting in March.
