Eurotrotter: First half of week two: Berlin
To catch you up on the past few days:
We took the train from Paris to Berlin:Breon (tonight at 8pm) will be on a panel discussing the new translation of The Tin Drum for German national radio.
We arrived and are staying at a mansion on a lake called the Wannsee. It's on the far southwest corner of Berlin (it's the last stop on the rail line for Berlin).
Above is the view from my Dad's room, and him at the desk in his room (15 foot high ceilings)
This is the view from my room.
As you can tell from my posts, I've done nothing except:
Talk 
Eat
Play chess
Read The Odyssey

just to say
am really enjoying your travelogue and pics! Brings back some memories and also shows me new things. Also good to see you and B in the pics.
Keep it up and thanks.
Good choice also to read the odyssey at such a time. which translator - Rieu?
Thanks for the words of encouragement!
TranslaTOR is Richard Lattimore.
I believe it's not Richard but Richmond....:)
You are, of course, correct. Funny how I read it as Richard over and over again...kind of like missing the doubled words in a sentence is is very easy.
