January 15, 2013


Snow in Amsterdam. 

Delays and Cancellations only mean more boarding passes. 

It was raining when we left Richmond.

After spending 26 hours of traveling, countless delays, cancellations, rebooking, and finding our luggage, we have all safely made it to Berlin! Although our first day was mostly spent in the Amsterdam airport due to snow, it was still a fun day. We all bonded over playing cards, talks about school, and the common ground of exhaustion. Even after our seven-hour flight from Detroit to Amsterdam, we were all definitely relieved to finally be back on a plane again en route to Berlin.

Once we arrived, we got checked into our hotel, located in West Berlin, freshened up, and quickly made our way to East Berlin for some delicious Asian cuisine. We enjoyed dinner (and the fact that we finally arrived!) before eventually bundling up and walking around for a bit and looking at some places that we have talked about in class and will go visit later in the week.

Even though we enjoyed ourselves today, there was nothing better than retreating to our home away from home for a nice long night.
