after a long night/day, we're here

hey all, just a quick update on our travels. we had a 90 minute delay yesterday evening at JFK (thunderstorms in the area) but otherwise our flight went off without a hitch. we arrived at Berlin-Tegel airport at around 11 AM (Germany) and took a local bus to the central train station in Berlin.















after a very pleasant ride on the high speed train we arrived in Leipzig, where I'll be working for a few days with my colleague from 454. after a brief meeting with our collaborators we all headed over to a local Biergarten to have a snack and a few beers. after that we watched half of the Italy-France soccer/football match in an outdoor "pub" of sorts and then decided to call it a night.

of course we have many more pictures and details to provide later but for now it's time to call it a night. we'll keep you posted!
