When I left Bilbao (with much regret and sobs forming in my throat in the taxi) it was over 20 degrees C and sunny. But because of snow in Paris and in Berlin that day (Dec. 7th) my flight to Berlin was delayed 5 hours. I arrived at 10 PM instead of 5 PM.
aglaiya had gone to the Tegel airport to meet me but because of the delay she had to go back home, disappointed. When we finally arrived at Tegel I looked for her but didn't really expect to find her still waiting. She wasn't there so I caught a taxi to my hotel, the NH Berlin near Alexanderplatz. As soon as I got in I called her, much to her relief to know that I had arrived safely. We agreed to meet in the morning, when she came to my hotel which was not far from her home. That first day it was snowing rather heavily. We went to see the Brandenburg Gate, did a lot of walking, stopping for coffee at Starbucks. Later we had dinner at my hotel, which had great food. That night
aglaiya sampled the tapas, while I had Argentine beef, which was more like a steak, and oh god, was it delicioso! (As I suppose all Argentine 'beef' is. XDDD)
