Yesterday mostly focused on the marathon, as expected. I met Annahita around the 10k mark to catch Adam, and then again around the 35k mark. The course was crowded but not too badly, so we didn't have too much difficulty finding somewhere to cheer from even though we always stuck close to the subway stops. Adam finished with an extremely impressive 2:53 time. We met up by the Reichstag after to catch up and hang out for the afternoon.


In the evening, I cooked up some sausage and ate a ton of carrots in my very limited kitchen time. I met a few Italians, a Mexican guy, and yet another Australian who I made plans with for tomorrow. The Italians are insisting on showing us how to make pasta and we also want to see the east side gallery, which is an art installation on a remaining section of the Berlin wall. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the city on my own time now that I don't have any remaining US connections in the city. I suspect that will make these blogs somewhat longer again, since I'm finding myself with relatively little to say these days.
