A night of firsts
After work I went out with Ariane, Marek, Carolina and the visiting Daniella. We went to a very cool little weineskellar near Alte Oper. I had some more wonderful regional wine and a würsttellar, or sausage plate. Marek let me try some mussels, which I have never had lving almost my entire life in Cincinnati. We had much lively discussion and jovial laughter. We also discovered Daniella's sordid beauty techniques.

Carolina took Daniella to her hotel and Marek, Ariane and I went to the zteitgallery to the hookah. Also a first for me. The apple tobacco was very refreshing and the hookah filters out the impurities in the smoke.
