It's Sunday, June 6 and I'm looking at the biggest crowd of people without police present anywhere I've ever seen. Somehow I ended up in Berlin...well actually I know exactly how I ended up there - a four-hour bus ride from Prague - but still sometimes during all the travelling it just sort of hits me...'definitely not in Kansas anymore.'
