Cassi asked that I post some of her adventures as she’s cruising around Europe this summer. She left for Berlin on May 26 and currently is in Paris for a 10 day stay before heading to Strasbourg and then Brussels. We anxiously await her return home on June 22.
Sunday, May 27 - I made it! I slept for a good part on the plane, but once we got here it was 7:30a and our day was just starting. Our rooms weren't ready so we went on a walking tour as a group with our professors, but it turned into stopping a block later at the local cafe for a round of lagers served by 6’3” German ladies. This evening we went on a boat tour of the city and then ate a 5 course group dinner at this Hebrew(?) restaurant. Dinner ended with a round of two hookahs (see picture). It's been a loooong two days but it's been awesome so far! We have a ton to see and do before we leave for Paris later this week. Love, Cassidy
Wed., May 30-It's about 9:00 here and my roommate and I stopped into an internet cafe before we meet up with the others to get dinner and go out on the town. Today we went to two Jewish synagogues, a Lutheran church, did a lot of walking and saw the Berlin Wall. The entire part of the wall that’s left is painted and grafittied by local artists and other artists from around the world. (see picture). Afterwards we stopped at this Oasis bar that was all this sand and tables and techno music and lots of locals. So I was hanging out, having a drink at the space bar, next to the Berlin wall, next to the river…it was unreal. Love and miss everyone! Cassidy
