We woke up to another rainy morning, but when checking out the forecast, we noticed that it was to end at 9am. So we waiting until the rain stopped, and off to Potsdam we went. We couldn't have a 13 year girl in Berlin for 13 days, and not show her a palace (or 4)! After another three trains (each way), we got down there about 10:40 this morning - Mom & Rylee are becoming pro's at the train.
We stayed on the bus for the first hour + of the tour, and waited until the palaces of Fredrick the Great, to do our walking. I'm not sure which was Rylee's favorite, but we walked the grounds of Belevedere, Orangerie and Sansousi (some of those were spelled wrong, but if you google Potsdam, you'll know which I mean). It was more than an hour wait to get inside a palace, so we skipped that part, but we walked the gardens until my legs ached. Flat Tony (x2) was checking out the Belevedere palace, and us girls were hanging out in the gardens of Orangerie.
On the way home we grabbed Rylee a little McDonalds...nothing like comfort food. Mom and I hit the Lebanese restaurant for our wraps, and we got home in time for the rains to start again. All in all, great timing for when we were outside - and I think with all the fresh air, everyone will sleep well tonight! Of course, I have to go to work tomorrow and these two get to sleep in! :)
Congrats to the Fishers Tiger football team on a first round sectional win - and congrats to Brady Riley and the Fishers girls soccer team on a semi-state win!!
Miss you all, tons!
Good-night and God-bless,
from Berlin
