Another Top 10 at Halftime

It’s hard to believe that we’ve actually reached the halfway mark of our time here in Berlin. These months have been so full of new impressions and experiences and adventures that it doesn’t seem possible they’ve passed this quickly. We’ve purchased our return tickets for the 15th of July, leaving us with five months and three weeks of German time left to enjoy.

As we were thinking about our time here, the kids were musing about what they miss from America. You may guess that not all of us agree on all these items, but here’s a combined list of . . .

Top Ten Things We Miss

10. rain (ha! just kidding)

9. watching the Blazers' incredible season (Go, Brandon Roy!)

8. comfortable furniture

7. root beer

6. American pizza

5. drinking fountains

4. a house with a back yard

3. Oreo and Jasper (our cats)

2. speaking English

1. friends and family
