Trip to Germany

A lot of things point me to Germany. I studied German for 3 years at college; I'm working at a furniture company whose owner is a German immigrant to Canada 50 years ago; two of my favorite art movements: Expressionism and Bauhaus are German and my favorite industrial designer, Konstantin Grcic, is German. After talking about going to Germany - specifically Berlin, and spending a week in there - about half a year finally I sat down and for the first time in a long time started studying the map of Germany. A very good start and now I know where Berlin is on the map! I think I'm going to sketch at least one thing related to Germany per week from now on until my trip.
