May 30-31 - I just got done eating a currywurst on the streets of downtown Berlin. This is the common fast food snack, basically a sausage covered in ketchup and sprinkled with curry. Very strange but popular. We took the train to Potsdam and there had a tour of Frederick the Great’s summer home. Amazing! We went to this Turkish mosque, had lunch at a kosher Turkish restaurant, and visited a museum with sculptures from Greece and northern Africa. Our last day in Berlin we saw the Brandenburg Gate and then went to the zoo(1 block from the hotel)and I actually saw Knut with my own two eyes! You would not believe how popular this bear is.
Yesterday was our first full day in Paris. We went to Notre Dame and Saint Chappell and they were beautiful! We’ve been experiencing the Paris night life to the fullest and it’s even crazier than Berlin. Today is our day off and we’re going to Versailles and then the France-Ukraine soccer game. 
We visited this cool cemetery which was 125 acres big and saw Jim Morrison's and Oscar Wilde's graves, then went to see the Arc de Triomphe (see picture). Finally visited the famous Louvre Museum (see above picture) and saw the Mona Lisa and many other famous pieces. Incredible. That place is so big you literally could not spend everyday for 2 weeks there and see everything. Bye for now! Cassidy
