Day Sixty-Five

Berlin, Germany

Today we got shown around by a German man.

Our luck is impeccable, seriously. We woke up, showered, lathered on sunscreen, and headed out to explore Berlin. Our first stop was the giant TV Tower that soars above the city. There was an information center set up for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, so we mulled around there for a bit before heading over to check out some cool dancing fountains. While we were there waiting for the fountains to come back on two German boys no older than us came over and propositioned Jill and Laura for sexual favours in VERY broken English. "You fuck me? You fuck him? Yes?" They had a girl with them and we could tell they were just joking around, so we got a kick out of it.

Later on while we were checking out a giant fountain of Poseidon an older German man came up to Jillian and Laura and started telling them all about the fountain. This caught our interest and before we knew it we were following him around the city for nearly four hours. It was incredible. His name was Andrew and apparently he tours people around the city every Saturday ,free of charge, as a way to get out and exercise. He showed us around to the coolest places. We saw things that we never would have seen had we been walking by ourselves. He also gave us a great perspective on how Germans feel about WWII and the holocaust.
