Kurfurstendam ... so this must be Berlin. Bob Djavan, our plenary speaker, caught at the rare moment between outside of the conference halls and his lab. |
3 men, interesting statue on the Spree river - we took a cruise a did a short sightseeing. |
The day was a bit cold so a cold beer was necessary to survive. |

Foyer of the Estrel hotel, I'm standing in Craig Niederberger's company.

Seeing the opportunity first I grabbed Ellen ... |

Ellen and Jola seem to be happy ... |
No wonder the world looked a bit blurred when we have left the restaurant. |
Surprisingly, we greet the morning with a smile and no headache. During our workshop with Gina Zini and Craig Niederberger ... |
