Gutten Tag!

I am in Potsdam (about half an hour from Berlin) now. The last

three days in Paris were pretty fantastic; lots of random wandering,

and LOTS of eating. Went to the The Louvre and D'Orsay. Swear to

god, I almost killed a couple of tourists in line. Bastards. I was

pretty damn buggered by that time, so evening fun time

adventures were definitely kept to a minimum. I believe one

evening, as I was dying from fatigue, I was in bed by 9! Talk about

enjoying the Paris nightlife, and being a wild child. Holy crap, my

parents really SHOULD be worrying about all that crazy stuff I am

up to! HOWEVER, I did manage to spend a good majority of my

funds on touristy goods. And, unfortunately for you all, it was

mostly for me. : D

Now on to Germany - the start was a little rocky, with me going on

about eleventy billion trains in the wrong direction. I ended up in

the right place, but about seven years after I should have been

there. Then Kristin (Christina's friend that was kind enough to let

me hang out with her for a week) and I went to Tegel Airport to

pick up Christina. Which took about another eleventy billions years.

I am sure she will alert most of you to her amazing ability to forget

her lugage. So a trip to a barbed wire bunker was accomplished,

and we left with the bags..... finally.

Today we toured around Potsdam, and various castles. I wish we

had castles. Does anyone feel like staging a political uprising that

is totally based on Canada including more castles? We shan't return

Parliament Hill until we have more regal buildings scattered

around. And not all in Ontario either. ANYWAY, touring was

enjoyable, and actually having people to chat to was awesome.

Sharing experiences rocks my socks. THEN (and this has been the

big part of my day) we went to the supermarket. AND THE

ALCOHOL IS SO CHEAP! Holy mother of god, it rulez. Like, a bottle

of wine is €2 (about $4). And the hard alcohol was amazingly well

priced as well! I was in heaven. I have decided to move to Germany

and become an alcoholic. Brilliant plan, go me.

Okay, now Christina wants to send an account of her adventures in

the Airports of the World, so I shall leave the computer to her!

P.S. I KNOW more of you want postcards, address me up people!
