As a San Franciscan, I have become accustom to using my feet as a mode of transportation. Therefore today, instead of exhausting myself with the maze of Berlin's U-bahns & S-bahns, I hit the road by foot.

First Step:



Stepping outside the door, two blocks away, I saw the most amazing combination of Autumn in Berlin & San Francisco's Pacific Heights. Yet, my host, Carsten Bauhaus informs me that in past days, it was the Vivante's Klinkum An Urban Waterburg Strasse.

Second Step:



In 1986 (before the fall of the wall), for 275 German marks a month, I had my only experience of living alone. Renting a 2 bedroom, living room, kitchen, coal heated & shared toilet, apartment, I resided at Manteuffelstraße 81, Kreuzberg 10999 Berlin, Germany. During this period of my life, I worked "Schwarzarbeit" as a Bartender at Schroeder's Cafe on Bismarkstraße. I was very glad to see that my old home was still there.
