Ich liebe Berlin

Today started out a little different than normal. I woke up, looked at the time, and it was 10:52. Whoa, maybe next time I should set an alarm! Ha, I think my host mom was surprised I slept so long, and I will make sure it never happens again :) For now, I will blame it on the jet lag. 

Barbara then drove me to the train station to make sure I knew how to purchase my ticket. I went to meet Anne and her friends at a gym. It was my first time on the train, and I was alone! I did ok - not perfect, but I made it :) Anne met me at the train station and then we met her two friends, Jette and Jule, at the gym for a quality workout. I guarantee I will be sore tomorrow! I will probably get a membership at that gym and continue to go with them throughout my time here if all goes well. 

After the workout, Anne and I explored Berlin by foot. We made our way to Humboldt University where she goes to school. On the way, we took in the beautiful sites of the city including the Berlin city hall, a cathedral, museums, and many many shops and cafes. It was really nice of Anne to show me around and introduce me to part of the city. We enjoyed our time in the sunshine, and even took some time just to relax and sit and talk.

Now I am back at home. Jakob just left for soccer practice and Lutz will be late due to work. It's just Barbara and I, and it's time for supper! I hope you enjoy the pictures from my day  :) Bis später!

...ok I'm having technical difficulties at the moment, so the pictures will have to wait. Tschüß!
