Ok, i'm being lazy, but it's hard having 2-3 places where you have to keep people updated. so. for those of you who don't have facebook, here is an exerpt: (hmmm I just realized that I can write here, and automatically have it post on facebook too.... I think I'll have to do that next time! yes i realize that i'm a nerd...)...

ok, i'm stupid. damn i hate macs! tara's not here and I forget the shortcut for copy and paste... how lame is that? (stupid no right click function!)
well. basically except for me getting my date of departure wrong, having to cancel the first leg of my flight which left from Calgary (cause I was 7.5 hours way and the flight was leaving in 4), drive to Spokane (well my darling mom drove me) catch a flight from there to seattle where I was able to connect with the rest of my flight, the trip over was quite smooth...
Tara's flat is very lovely, and we've done a lot of walking. Yesterday we went to the East Side Gallery and walked along what remains of the Berlin Wall, we walked all around and went into a KaDaMe (or something like that) so Tara could get some maple syrup from the canadian section. which also had other random stuff I wouldn't necessarily consider canadian staples. But they did have hempseed flour and pancake mix from hempola which is based in Barrie Ontario, and my friend who lives there knows the owners. That was crazy! We also went to a concert last night, with Tara's friend Andrew, a really nice and funny australian. The venue was kind of cool, although very smokey, our eyes were burning by the time we left. The music was interesting... not something I would generally go for, but it was neat being there. And I had German beer! (a rare thing for a girl who doesn't really like beer, but it wasn't that bad at all). Anyway, it was a chilly walk and tram ride back home, and bed was a lovely thing. This morning I went to Tara's work with her, and then walked back to her flat. It was beautiful and sunny and nice just to walk along the streets. We may check out a museam this afternoon, or just enjoy the weather. It's nice not to feel rushed about seeing everything. I am, so far, having a lovely time. Hopefully, once Tara shows me how to upload photos, i'll get some posted.
