Yesterday I saw my german friend Tobey who I met in New Zealand which was fun. He showed me his old neighborhood in east Berlin where he used to live. He was about 2 years old when the Berlin Wall came down. We played pool and went out to his and his friend's favorite late-nite hang-out spot---McDonald's. It was quite amusing to me the idea of being taken to McDonald's by a group of germans in Berlin. Another amusing bit was when his friend said that his favorite thing at the McCafe was the "Blabber Muffin". It's spelled Blaubber or something like that and means blueberry, but they just couldn't get why I found that so funny. Oh Blabber Muffin.
Today, I went on a tour of Potsdam where the Conference of Potsdam took place. Bumped into a couple palaces because hey, we're in Europe. Anyways, I hung out with some mexicans in the group, so I'm continuing to get some good Spanish practice, it's cool that I get to speak Spanish in so many different countries. Strange! And it's Easter, so no day would be complete without being given jellybeans with my cereal at breakfast by the hostel managers, hurrah!
Current temperature: 30 degrees fahr.

Cyn,
Enjoyed the walks around Berlin and also the talks in Spanish, English and outsider feelings.
You seem to be moving around and seeing Germany from different vantage points.
Like the photos!
