Yes, the email came through today...we have a place at the Nelson Mandela Shule for Emery! Here's the link if you're really interested. Dan says this will work, and I can't believe he's right.
Nelson Mandela School

It's an urban school--we'll take the Sbahn to the Ubahn along the U3 route to get there. The kids love that one of the final stops on the U3 is Krumme Lanke, which I was foolish enough to call Crummy Lake once. Now all water comes from Crummy Lake, all trains are headed to Crummy Lake, etc. Jokes don't get old quickly when you're seven.

Next steps for us are to get an appointment for Emery with a doctor for the requisite admissions physical. No problem. Hoping to have him attending school by the end of next week. Greta is more complicated. We have an appointment with the address registration people next Thursday which has to be done before we can apply to the pre-school department of the government for admission approval. Just talking about it makes me tired and I've just opened this lovely bottle of Prosecco, so I'll stop.

We've rented a car (not an enorma-van) for the weekend. Need to pick a destination that's not too ambitious. Thinking maybe Lubeck or Bamberg. Will let you know on Sunday!
