The German Experience- Berlin Part II

UPDATES- The last few days have been truly exciting. Our Germans treated us to a new game that I didnt even know existed in the states. Leo, Nico, and Basti took Alex, myself and Chris to the Escape game! Germans vs Americans. It was an overall great game to play and we had so much fun we're going back and playing again on Tuesday. Im enjoying everything I have done here in Berlin this past week. I am looking forward to going home, but Berlin will 100% be my next destination to Europe and I believe I have found a new love for the game of football.

The Weekend- After waking up early Saturday morning, Leos family took me on a 2 and half hour drive to the Baltic Sea. The Baltic is a very attractive area for tourists. I was treated to an amazing fish lunch and had icecream to follow. We took a walk down the beach and looked at some amazing sites on the water. After walking down the beach we made our way back to the car to make the trip home. Sunday was a much differnet story however, I went to a Protestant church. Something I have never experienced before. I understood absolutly nothing and I had no idea how to sing in german. We made our way home after stopping by a local bakery to get some bread for the party to follow. I took the best nap of my life and soon it was already 5 o'clock. Friends from the exchange were already at the house. We had a very american styled cookout with all kinds of foods to enjoy. We watched the German football match which in American is "Soccer", the German national team pulled out a win against Ukraine. German flags flew all over this city with happiness with one more win under the germans belt. We have one more week left, and there is so much more to learn and experience. Thanks Germany!
