Abacus Tierpark Berlin

What a freaking long day today was. We stopped in some port town of Warnemunde, Germany and head off to Berlin via a 3 hour train ride for a guided tour + some free time. It was fun in that the train was booked exclusively for Atlantis, so we had a train full of gay boys having fun for 3 hours (or napping or whatever). We had a train room to ourselves mostly, Jim, Chris, Mike, myself, and Stephen. <br><br>Berlin was nice, but I think ...

May 30, 2009<br><br> I left the good ole' Virginia to hop on my first plane in over a year. Hana drove me to the airport which made it a little sad to leave. Never thought I would say this but I missed being on a plane. On my way to somewhere exciting, and finally out of the U.S. the flights didn't seem that long. Maybe my perception of time has changed too. It seems as you get older time goes by faster. I suppose it is a good for time to seem ...

... only recently giving details of the bunk** and the final events of 1945. The B**lin**s have been v**y careful with this site to prevent it becoming a Neo-Nazi shrine. We continued to retrace our city tour steps and went to Nied**kirchn**strasse to see some of the remnants of the B**lin Wall and the Topography of T**ror exhibition. The exhibition stands on the site of the form** SS and Gestapo HQ and you can follow a picture tour below street level of the ...

... nothing and realize that it is everything we thought it could be, and more. We resurface in time to make it back to Jess's apartment, shower and head out to a beer garden to watch the Euro 2008 games. The outdoor picnic tables filled up fast during the first ...

... a number of the instruments including a grinding organ, the sort of thing an you see in the movies with an organ grinder operating the organ and a trained monkey collecting donations from the audience. The guide also fired up the large pipe organ, played one of the many harpsichords, demonstrated a flute, clarinet, french horn and oboe, and finally showed off the magnificent Wurlitzer organ they have. The Wurlitzer is essentially a pipe organ on steroids. It has a ...

On the way to Berlin before I took my overnight train, I met some hillarious English guys that were so high on space cakes it was crazy. Anyway, we stopped in Brussles for a mere hour, and decided to mission it to find a waffle place. So at 1130pm we were wandering the streets and found a place. We had belgien waffles with chocolate and ice cream..night bedtime food...mum will be proud. I slept in a bunk bed on the ...

... the greatest combination of insurgence and fright, not to mention a reality check. The lightning completely brightens the room, the white, sheer curtains frantically billowing in night air. I had been waiting for this moment to come, the one where Dorothy realizes she's not in Kansas anymore. Why this feeling hits me now, I don't know, but I embrace the surge of emotion with everything I have. The adventure has begun.

... the inside of a cathedral, but many of us, including myself, were rather apathetic. So half of the group went to see the cathedral, while the others (all girls, naturally), stayed behind to browse in the souveigneer shops. Someone walking by was eating icecream, and we all agreed that our Euros would be best spent on some mouth-watering, eis (German for icecream. Although similar to gelato, they do not ...

... as one progressed into the gallery the pack began to take flight, literally. Like Santa's Reindeer, the wolves were rising up off the floor (suspended by wires of course, come on) until three quarters of the way across the room there was a veritable cloud of stuffed wolves hovering twenty feet above my head. Now, here's where it gets weird. As the pack thickened, arresting their progress stood a floor to ceiling Plexiglas wall. The wolves appeared to be crashing into it and, one ...

... siempre un gusto saludar a Leon, lo vi muy bien. Estuvimos un rato en su casa y despues fuimos a comer a un lugar cerca de su casa, al aire libre pero con sombra, muy agradable y rico. Ahi llego Susane. Ya en la noche llegamos al depto para ver el partido de Brasil vs Croscia, pero fue tan malo el patrtido que la 2° parte la dedique para actualizar el Blog con toda la resenia de Nuremberg. Miercoles 14 Desayunamos con Carlos y despues el salio a Gissen, realmente se porto ...
