welpers, we are in berlin and it has been reallz nice (and once again the y and the z keys are mixed up so sorrz about that up front...) but anzwazs, berlin could not be much more opposite of greece, so thats taken some getting used to. i mean, its straight up COLD! quite a change from chilling all daz in our bikinis, now we are busting out pants and jackets :( all i wanted while we were on th tour was to sit in front of a fire and sip hot cocoa :) but berlin is a reallz cool citz. todaz we went on a tour of a concentration camp, which is something that we both reallz wanted to do so that was cool and we learned a ton. the cold, cloudz weather sort of plazed into the mood of it too, so todaz has felt a bit somber, which is to be expected i guess. but the mood will change shortlz because we are going on a pub crawl tonight.... should be interesting since i have never done anzthing like this and rarelz go to bars back at home. but it will be fun im sure ;)
we were going to trz to do a free walking tour of the citz this afternoon but the other tour ran late so we are going to go tomorrow afternoon. last night we went over to this ladzs house for dinner. sarahs sister jessica stazed with her and gave us her number. but she is hosting another familz so we were not able to staz with her but she had us over for dinner and it was so nice. her and her hubbz work for campus crusade over here so it was neat getting to talk to her. and we are going to go to her church tomorrow which i could not be more pumped about!!!! it is an international baptist church that is in english so i cant wait! oh zeah, and heres something random and just shows how small the world is. when we were at the ladzs house last night her neice was there who is 18 and she is from ariyona. she is a nannz for a couple families for a few months. so we get to talking and she asked us where we went to school, etc. and she said that her brother went to trinitz. so i asked his name and her brother is josh neuman!!! mz brother eric plazed soccer with him at trinitz. so crayz. so that was prettz fun. eric, she told me that josh just got engaged so i wanted to let zou know :)
so we were on the train todaz coming home from the concentration camp and i was pooped so i was taking a bit of a cat nap in the train. and if anz of zou have seen me sleep before i am not an attractive sleeper. mz mouth gapes open!! but im over it. everzone on the train is a stranger so thez can stare all thez want :) i was woken up a few times bz sarah laughing at me even :) oh well. once i woke up for good i noticed that this one ladz who was sitting across from me was staring at me and then would whisper to this other ladz she was with and then laugh. SO IMMATURE!! and annozing to saz the least. and i was not in the mood for that so i basicallz would continue to make eze contact with her until she felt awkward enough where she had to break it. hahahah!!!! now thats mature if i have ever seen it right ;) and of course i had to give her a look or 2 also... ;)
sorrz that i dont have manz funnz stories to share todaz... im sure i will after tonight ;)
we decided to staz in berlin another night because it would have been a waste of time to trz to fit anz other cities in before sarah flies out. so i think it will be good because we will hopefullz be able to also go to a holocaust museum before we leave too. and most likelz i will go back to paris with sarah and then flz up to dublin and start mz travels through ireland. but i have to see what flights are like before i firm up mz plans. iw ill keep zou posted though :)

Josh Neuman!!?? That's so whack!
Hez Jode! Berlin sounds so (for lack of a better word) interesting. It's never been on mz must-see list of places across the pond, but it sounds like zou are getting a more rounded Euro experience bz having gone there. And how great to visit with the CampCru ladz for dinner & get to go to church. Sometimes church gets to be a drag (pre-Refuge lol) b/c we are spoiled brat Christians... but you never know what zou've got till it's gone, right? So anxious to hear about Ireland. That IS on my list. xoxoxox
it's really hard to do that z=y and y=z thing
That is awesome that you got to tour a concentration camp, I would love to do something like that!
Jodes, I miss you so much! You keep putting your 'mac' down on them mens!!!!!! ;) whootie who!!!
About that Pub Crawl. Did the two of you survive?
Any chance you can get her number so I can try and track Josh down? I haven't talked to him in a few years now.
We made it to Colorado. Hit the pool this morning and will be hitting the trails later today.
We all love you.
