Hi everyone!

Yesterday Christian and I got back from my last Germany adventure…Berlin! It was great, one of the best trips and the best sightseeing of any city that I saw! We did a lot of stuff, a city tour, saw the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Wall, and Reichstag (Germany’s Capitol Building, where the national Parliament meets), got to walk through an underground bunker used as an air-raid shelter during WWII, and visited the Pergamon Museum (which contains the famous Pergamon altar and the Ishtar gate from the ancient city of Babylon). It was great! Since I realized that me having this blog up means that you have all been able to keep up with everything that I’ve seen and done, I might not have anything to tell you about when I’m back, so if you want to see my Berlin photos and hear more about the trip, then you’ll just have to ask me! But, to prove that I really was there, here’s a couple select pictures…in order, me in front of the Brandenburg Gate, in front of the Berlin Wall, inside the Reichstag, and walking through the Ishtar Gate of Babylon at the Pergamon Museum!

Otherwise, I basically have two more days here and will be busy getting packed up, moved out, and saying my goodbyes! I leave Dortmund on Wednesday bright and early at 6 am, and will arrive back in Cleveland at around 6 pm…it’s going to be a long day of traveling, but I can’t wait to get home!  Thanks to all of you who have kept up with my blog while I was here, and for all the messages and e-mails! I can’t believe it’s been 5 months already, and my time in Germany is now coming to a close, but I really look forward to seeing all of you in America again soon!!!

Also…GO BUCKS!!!  ROSE BOWL BOUND!!!!

Anyways, that’s all for today, see you all on the other side of the Atlantic!!
