Hello all,

Week two of camp went well. We went from having 49 kids the first week to only 37 the second week. Most of the little 5-6 year olds from the first week all went on holiday with their parents. Some of my favorite kids are gone for the rest of the summer, but it's all good... the new ones were great as well!!

Friday after camp, 11 of us from Camp Adventure embarked on another weekend adventure, this time in Berlin. Berlin was everything I had hoped for and more. It was incredible. The history and the culture was everywhere. For some reason I originally had this almost negative image of Berlin, as if my mind was just looming in the time periods of the second world war and the cold war. I had this image in my mind that Berlin was a pretty run down city, but I was totally wrong.

Berlin is alive!!! In fact it is the most alive city I have ever been to in my life. What do I mean by alive? Well, that's how you feel when you are experiencing Berlin, you feel alive! Engulfed into one of the most important cities in the modern world. It's is the Capital of Germany for good reason.

If you ever do go to Berlin, I encourage anyone to take a free walking tour, rather than exploring your first day on your own. It is the best way to get orientated and see so much of the city that you probably would never get to see on your own. My tour guide was awesome, she new so much about the history and took us to all the major sites in Berlin in just 3 1/2 hours. Well worth it!

One other great thing about Berlin is its public transportation system. Awesome!!! You can get anywhere you want in the city by bus, S-Bahn, U-bahn, and tram. The small price of a daily ticket is well worth it. Berlin is a very large city so this made getting around very easy.

I loved every second I was in Berlin and I didn't want to leave. I could definitely see myself living there. My favorite city so far! Hope you enjoy the photos!

Off to Utrecht, Netherlands this weekend!

Until next time,

Auf Weidersehen!
