Today has been fantastic. Classes were really fun. It's almost like we play games in Kindergarten all day, but I think I'm learning quite a bit. Yesterday we even went on a field trip...to a super market lol. we also had a boat tour on the Spree River, but it was over some speakers in German and we couldn't hear it. It was pretty nonetheless. Afterward Morton, John, Emilia, and I went to the next stop on the U-Bahn and found a bunch of stores, including a specialty absinthe store run by a french man that could barely speak either English or German (ha...so funny) and some nice clothing shops. We also found a Vietnamese restaurant which was very good and then we had dessert..twice. First Italian gelatto at a nearby stand and then at dunkin donut lol. Got to bed later than anticipated because the ride home after was about an hour long, but I've nearly given up on sleeping much on this trip. Today was class, lunch at a bakery with a few friends, class, and then Sergio, Lolina, and I and a new friend, Kathleen, went to Alexanderplatz to meet friends for a museum..got lost and never did find the group, but we met so many nice German people trying to find it. Same on the U-Bahn while doing homework. Anyone that's ever said Berliners are rude must being giving them a reason to be because I haven't met a single person that treated me badly hear or wasn't eager to help....regardless of my muddled grammar and tiny vocabulary...ANYWAY....We eventually gave up and went to a museum and a beautiful church that I can't remember the name of...not important comparatively because we saw the Berliner Dom. Most beautiful thing I've seen up to date. It was moving. Sergio, Lolina, and I are going to mass there on Sunday :)...Beyond that there's not much to say. Lots of walking and public transportation and great food. I need to sleep while I've got the chance so...Gute nacht!!
