Swimming, Riding, U-Bahn, S-Bahn
So, yesterday Sarah, her mother and I went to "Schwapp," an indoor waterpark. It was pretty fun, and when I was there, I came away being SO VERY HAPPY THAT SPEEDOS AREN'T POPULAR IN THE US. Holy crap, practically every guy had on a speedo, regardless of whether they were skinny, fat, hairy, old. It was...horrifying. D: Never again, never again...
Later on that day, we met Gerhard at the stable where Sarah's horses are lodged and also the place where her teacher lives. She, Gerhard and her mother went riding and I stood on the sidelines, taking photos. I was really impressed with their riding and Sarah's teacher really amused me (along with some else who showed up later on, as those who can see my photos will know.)
We stayed the night at Gerhard's place again and this morning after a trip to the Grocery, we all went to Berlin for the day.
I got to see the blown-out remains of the Wilhelm Kirche, which was really cool, and I picked up a new bag from a little asian store. But seriously, though, I'm amazed at how awesome and powerful that church still is. It just...it was amazing. I can't really describe it.
After that, Sarah's mother dropped us off at Schloss Charlottenburg and we took a tour of the castle while she went to a sewing workshop a few train stops away. The castle was beautiful. I'm so in love with the architecture and I just...ugh, when I get home, I'm taking out all kinds of books on the western dynasties. D< That's all there is to it.
Also, speaking of trains and such, I made a note to myself after riding the U-Bahn for the first time today. It is exactly like American subways I've been to. It's stuffy, it stinks, and there are all kinds of weird people that try to talk to you. D:
I think I'm going to cut this off here though, because me and Sarah are going to bed early because we have a big day tomorrow. We're going to another castle and then to a shopping mall. <3 See you guys!
