Wow.

Today has been one of the most horrifying yet human days of my life. I went to Saschenhausen concentration camp today, where over 50,000 people were killed 1936-1945. It was a very grim day, a stark contrast to the gorgeous weather we had today. It has suppose to have rained the last couple days, but instead has been gorgeous. I won't go into too much about the camp, I am sure you all can picture it.

Berlin has shocked and wowwed me, all at the same time. I have never been in such a place of polar opposites and sheer knowledge. I have been on the go nonstop since I got here, and still haven't seen nearly a tenth of what I wanted to. There is just not enough time. I have met and made some really interesting and awesome friends here and feel like I will be leaving the city with so much more than I expected to get out of it. It has really changed me, for the better.

Last night I went on a pub crawl with a Canadian couple I had met and my roommates from the hostel, and it was amazing. So much fun. Berlin really does know how to party, and it lasts forever. I tried to pace myself and not drink that much to stay up late, but by 1 or 2 I was dead to the world. Thank God for the protective boys in my room that took care of me haha.

I leave tomorrow morning for Munich, which is going to be amazing. It is sad because my trip is coming to a close and I am just starting to feel at home in this country. The Mexicans in my room left to go to Amsterdam this morning, and I was about to join them, but I withheld my free spirit and thought of my responsibilities at home (boooo).

Well, not much more to say today, I am emotionally drained from the events of the day and need to really reflect on them.

Hope all is well!
