Today is our trip to Potsdam We woke up at 6:30 am and made it out of the house by 7:00 am..Very early start for us americans..! The drive wasn't bad at all, I was expecting it to be never ending! But it seemed like it went by super fast. When we arrived to Carina's dad's apartment here, we unloaded the car and made ourselves at home :). Potsdam is super beautiful and there is just so many fun things to do! Carina's dad works 5 min away from where the apartment is so he was there most of the day. He took us to the city first and left us ladies there to tour and to do what we are best at..SHOP! We shopped SO MUCH today..all of us had like 5 bags each! Kinda makes me feel sick when I think about it!!..but momma keeps saying, I may never get this chance again! The first thing I thought about when we arrived to the city was "man my feet are gonna hurt by the end of today!". The streets were FOREVER long, full of shops. We hit almost every store! And I was in about 10 shoe stores trying to find my "european" shoes :)..for those of you who don't know! Germans all wear converses! So I got some converse look alike..to feel european and to fit in with the crowd ;) <3. We all got tired quick as we shopped shopped shopped! And there was A LOT of walking involved too! The funnies thing about today was at the end. We were all walking through the park a very BIG park (called Anssouci)..beautiful..but it seemed like it just kept going and going and going..I just thought my feet were going to fall off of my body! We all made it to the very end of the park..and the gates were CLOSED!..We had to walk around the gates..weird..I know..! And find a way out so we didn't have to walk all the way back! The funny thing is. I was wearing my new white I <3 BERLIN sweatshirt and I felt something on my arm..dummy me..I slapped it (first reaction) and it was a dang mosquito! The blood went everywhere and I was so upset! I had to just get over it and keep walking though! We remember we had to stop at the supermarket and get milk so we did that next. We got some things we like, like non bubbly water and other yummy snacks! We walked back to the apartment around nine and had some cereal for dinner and I colored in my coloring book while we all sat and talked on the back porch :). We all showered (much needed), and now the other 3 are all playing ligretta and yahtzee!..I'm sure we will all get sick of it soon enough :P. But maybe not!! Haha :). Overall today was a good day! Just very very tiring! We all enjoyed the shopping and seeing all of the different stores and what all they had to offer! Tomorrow will be our big day in BERLIN!! We are all very excited for that and can't wait to see the city! Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers! I will continue to keep every updated as my time in Germany comes to an end. I'm so ready for a feet hurting shopping full day tomorrow! Good night and sweet dreams!
