BERLIN, PART II

Across the street from Meirei is Anna Blume. In addition to being a cafe, they are also a flower store. And they provide oversized fleece blankets to their customers. I am still marveling at this luxury. You know when it is just a little bit cool but you'd love to sit outside and you think to yourself "If only I could snuggle up in a sleeping bag here on this patio and sip coffee in the brisk spring breeze. That would be the ideal solution." This inclination is nationally recognized at outdoor cafes. It's here, eating sour cherry cake in a cozy blanket, that I start plotting how I might move to Berlin.
