Thank goodness for Starbucks because we can use their free internet for 2 hours. Right now Ryan is talking to Judi over Skype, but the connection is a little slow.
So today we went to Potsdam! We had to figure out how use the trains, which is pretty confusing. Luckily a lot of the people here can speak english so we can ask around. Potsdam was really interesting because it is a city that has had many different people living there from Holland, Russia, France, America, and more so the city has a lot of different quarters.
We are really getting used to the area around our hotel and it feels almost like home when we get back. There is a lot of entertainment and food around our area. check out the video we posted (or will post) so you can see the area in front of our hotel!
Ryan-The food here is really good, we have been eating sausages everyday. Ryan has had many bratwursts and found a delicious sausage known as a currywurst (we took a picture of this delicious sausage). The weather has been very warm and helps us achieve a full European smell.
We will try to put up pictures and video when we get a better connection. We feel really comfortable and safe here so everything is going great!

Many people hang out by the fountains and climb in

Bratwursts only $1.45 :)
