Vince and Eileen catch up on her Berlin adventure: a hot-and-salty marathon, Oktoberfest’s massive “tents,” surprise Spanish everywhere, and solo-travel serendipity. The customer service nightmares to wows. Uber Eats driver (shoutout Kaya!) who delivered tacos. It’s a tour from Germany to Long Beach about hospitality, pride in small businesses, and why a little kindness goes a long way—plus a slangy palabra del día that you can't miss.
