Day 45: More Tours!






Hallo everyone! Wie geht's? I am currently hanging out with Paula and Anna in their apartment! And we are going to be having a sleepover! Yay! It actually has been quite an interesting day. This morning, we woke up pretty early to have a tour of the Jewish Quarters in Berlin. But waking up early was definitely worth it because it was a fantastic tour. We saw everything from the foundation of the first synagogue to remaining evidence from World War II bombings. Pretty neat (although sometimes difficult to see) stuff. After the tour, we had a nice lunch at a cafe near the Goethe Institut. Paula and I had some delicious omlettes (although they can not compare to the ones made in Union's West Colleget!) and we just sat and talked for a while. Class went by fairly quickly and I headed to Paula and Anna's after talking to Professor Nelson for a bit. We've just been hanging out here ever since. It has been really nice to get to know them better and just relax out a bit. We talked, ate some pudding, made some puzzles, etc. It was a nice and relaxing night, just what I needed! So, tomorrow is a holiday! I don't know yet exactly what I will be doing, but definitely something interesting! I am looking forward to having the day off from classes. Hope everything is going well with everyone back home! Only 17 days 'til I hop the plane back to the US...wow. Well, have a good night! 'Til next time...Tschuess!
