Guten Tag from Berlin!

Yesterday was the two-week mark of our stay in Berlin. We haven’t posted any updates because things have been a little hectic: Mrs. B had to go into the hospital for an emergency appendectomy on our third day here and is only now really back on her feet. We’d been planning to work the entire month from the Etsy.com offices but today’s the first day we’ve managed to get away. Here in Berlin, the Dumbo-headquarted online marketplace is located in a cool old brick building on Ritterstrasse in the neighborhood of Kreuzberg along with several other online and arts-related companies. As you can see from the photo, there’s a large inner courtyard with its own cafe populated by the creative types who work in the building. Kind of like Dumbo if the rents in Dumbo were like 80 percent cheaper! We did manage to get away last weekend to the lake country outside Salzburg, which was pretty spectacular. We’ve included a photo on the jump. Looking forward to being back in BK in less than two weeks!
