Last weekend, my friend Jason had a party where everyone had to wear an accessory from a favorite holiday. Of course, Alex and I chose Berlin. We wore all black, and, in an uncharacteristically crafty moment, I made us pins of the East Berlin traffic light men. I must say, I was pretty proud of them!
