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

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.

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......
