The English take a weekend in the country; the Germans take a country in a weekend.

Yesterday I went to Potsdam. It's a suburb of Berlin that was once a Prussian capital. It's mostly known for "Sans Souci," a palace that was built by a gay Prussian prince after his father had his boyfriend killed. He used the Sans Souci, which means "without worries," to host lavish parties where women weren't allowed.


Sans Souci


Something that used to be important but is now a movie theater.

Hubby may have a rotation in Europe for a few months and "Buttons" and I would go with him. Seeing your pictures is giving me the itch to fly over very soon.

Yo Anita. Les Gray here, skiing with your Dad and sister, and getting a tour of your blog.

Good luck in Berlin. As you know,you are among my favorites of all time, and I expect greatness (eventually, after screwing arround for a while).

Have fun. Don't let your studies interfere......
