Open Your Eyes

Saturday, June 23.

Today, we left in the morning for the Christopher Street Parade, the gay pride parade in Berlin. Unfortunately, we did not do very much research beforehand and we arrived at the end of the parade at 12:30, when the parade was just getting started way across town.  We got some food (I got a banana nutella crepe which is the greatest thing on the planet), and walked around for a bit before aborting the mission and heading back to the hostel.  I bought two 10 euro Germany jerseys before we left though, one for me and one for my brother.

Me with Meaghan and Devan by the Brandenburger Tor.

After a good rest and some homework, Sara and I went to the Kollwitzmarkt farmer's market right behind the hostel.  There were so many delicious foods there I will definitely be stopping back next week.

We walked around for a bit, and I bought two shirts at Humana, the goodwill type store that is in Germany, for 6 euro each!  I also took pictures for my photo project.  This quote says "Open Your Eyes".

After dinner at the hostel, a big group went to a nearby biergarten for the Spain v. France game.  They have bier here that they mix with sprite which is really yummy, and mixed with raspberry syrup which is even more delicious.  The biergarten was fun, even though Spain won.
