Kind Words for WOW

Past Experiences
“I ate Wiener Schnitzel, real Wiener Schnitzel, and potato salad. It was a little too cool. I spent time on the river, walked along the remnants of the Berlin Wall and the East Side Gallery, climbed halfway up the Victory Tower, and found a badass goddess to take a photo with. And I met a great author, Martin Jankowski. And I'm with my new friends. Yes indeed… thank you very much!”
