Well, from the girls perspective… we arrived at the airport and said our goodbyes. We finally made it through security and then ran to the nearest starshmucks. Then we got fat off of Burger King and rushed to get on the plane. While standing in line to board an atrociously smelling man walked by Micah and I, which Micah was quick to point out! Then only to find that man was sitting in Esther’s, Natalie’s, and my row (which of course our row was miles away from the rest of the group.) After a very long and sleepless flight we made it to Amsterdam. There, as girls ALWAYS do, we shopped till we dropped and lost my mom. Yes… we lost my mom while trying on clogs (which I managed to fall straight over in) and then went to Starshmucks again! After much searching for my mom… my dad found her at gate D84 instead of gate C16! We then boarded our last hot flight and made it safely to Germany.
After arriving in Germany we stopped by the Green’s house and then went straight to the Borchmann’s house! They have 4 girls so there is a lot of estrogen going on in this home – and that makes everything fun and exciting! We then went on a walk, played kems, spoons (or should i say “lofferl”) and the animal hand-clapping game. We then took showers and went to bed at 6:30pm.
After all of us girls woke up at 12 to go to the bathroom we slept until morning! We arose, ate breakfast, and then went to the coffee shop to go on our Berlin tour. We went to the Pergamum museum where we saw Satan’s throne (Rev. 2:12-17) and the gate of ancient Babylon. That was our favorite part! We then went on a boat tour around Berlin, followed by lunch where we ate pizza, apple-like nectarines and sparkling water… on accident (sorry Micah!) We walked around a little more and then stopped at Starshmucks! We then went to see Check Point Charlie. That was amazing! While waiting for the group… Esther, Chris, Micah and I played the animal hand-clapping game… but then we switched it up by playing it with Asian signs! I was fried rice, Micah was sumo, Chris was kung-fu, and Esther was wong-tong. Good times! We then got on the subway and a bus to get home! After a long day of paying to use the bathroom, I am now going to go to bed! Goodnight from Germany!

Boy, this post brings back the memories. Such fun. I wonder if it’s as hot there now as when we went. I remember it was crazy hot and there were bees everywhere.

Yeah, I remember how Kyle showed us all a great way to kill those bees too. You just swat down at them, and when they’re stunned on the ground you step on them. That’s become a life-lesson for me…
