My week in photos

Since I got back from vacation I have been first too sick, then too tired, and now too lazy to write about Stockholm and Berlin and do them any justice.

It was so nice to get away from being an 'adult,'and getting to being a twenty three year old youth, staying in hostels, and wandering around, getting lost in new cities.
It also helps that I don't look a day over 18, so I really can blend it as a university student travelling. Plus, I can always get reduced student prices!

I've been back 'home' for a week. We had interviews with parents, and it was exhausting! Today's been a lazy, lazy day!

Since I am still too lazy, here is a snap-shot of my week off in pictures, with hilarious captions. . . . maybe.

Photo 1: Stockholm
Two of my colleagues out for the night in Stockholm! A nice refreshing change from the five bars of Borås.







Berlin! This is the East Side Gallery. The longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall. Beautifully painted over.



Beautiful words.





A very natural stance at the Brandenburg Gate. Fun fact: Napolean was apparently the first to walk through the gate!




The wall again!



At Checkpoint Charlie! I was a Cold War history nerd in HEAVEN!




The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Pretty profound to get lost in memory and thought while paying respects.
