First a confession, I wrote a much longer post but deleted it by mistake. I blame touch screen technology and the German language.

We departed at about 1 pm from Brandenburger tor suppored by a sizeable crew of friends, family and supporters,tourists, darth vader and the berlin bear. The Morgen Post, Tv Berlin and Radio Eins covered the event and suddenly with the shouting supporers and flashing lights I felt like I ws a part of something amazin, not just 4 people planning in isolation.We we escorted out of the city by about 30 supporters on their bikes, like  a 30 second to Mars video. Then it was just the four of us. more about our first 2  days later.
