Our First 2 Days in Berlin

Two nights ago, we got onto a big plane in Denver, lugging our enormous bags, not really sure if we wanted to or not. It was a long plane ride to London, but British Airways made us comfortable and we just watched movies most of the time. the rest of the time we slept and ate the very...interesting airplane food they served. But soon, we were flying over the red roofs of London and arriving at Heathrow airport.

After flying the short flight to Berlin, we retrieved our many bags and bike just to have to carry them all to the taxi. We drove through the city, the whole time staring at the forest like park and many bikers along the highway. Wow. Berlin isn't exactly what we expected.

We were soon at the apartment, and got settled in, took a look around the neighborhood, and I got to Skype a few friends. That was nice. I love Skype!!!! I got to talk to my friends in Colorado, and it's all for free! I'll probably be doing that a lot. We then fell asleep and ten, and i woke up in the room Elena and I are sharing at ten. We all have a little bit of Jetlag. Here's a picture of the room. And that's our apartment refrigerator (it's not REALLY on it's side like that).



These are some of the things I did today:

- Ate a croissant for breakfast
- Saw Princess (our dog) for the first time since the day before yesterday, because she had been on a different plane from Colorado. She was traumatized.
- Walked to the supermarket and got cheese, organic lettuce, apricots, musli and bread from the bakery for 10 euros.
- Walked to the park and played on the really cool zip line and rope course.
- Went to a "Currywurst" stand and got good sausages to eat there.
- Saw alot of graffiti.
- Went into this huge store that had smoked fish (alot), olives, alot of cheese, alot of
meat and sausages, wine, a deli where you ate standing up, and alot of other stuff too.
