Berlin

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I figured it was about time for a post about Berlin since I have been here over 4 weeks. I have not been very great at taking photos but I will share with you a few that I do have. Our strategy for exploring new places seems to be wander around until we stumble upon something cool and then take a few pictures of it. Because of this I dont really know the name or really what exactly is in most of these photos. We have thoroughly enjoyed our wandering though and have stumbled upon some beautiful buildings and gotten to see lots of different parts of the city. Its nice having such a great exploring companion. I am looking forward to exploring whatever the next city we stumble into.

Josh took me here the first weekend I arrived. It was surrounded by a beautiful square. I love that there are so many squares and plazas to sit and enjoy in Europe.

The remnants of a church that survived the war. It is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.

Easter in Berlin. This is the little surprise I woke up to. Gotta love German chocolate.

There is alot of graffiti around.

We found a giant bench. A good place to sit and relax.

The river Spree and the tv tower.

I love the red tiled roofs.

Another beautiful square we stumbled upon.

Showing off my belly.

Spring is coming!

A lovely little flower shop.

Remnants from the wall.

Where the wall once stood is now lined by this cobblestone path.

An old bus.

Brandenburg gate is beautiful at night.

And that conclues my time in Berlin. It looks like I should make it out on my flight tomorrow. So back to packing and enjoying the last day in such a beautiful city!

Volcanoes

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I had no idea how far spread the effects of a volcano eruption could be. I was supposed to fly out of Berlin this morning but do to the ash cloud over Europe and the majority of airports being closed, my flight was cancelled. I was rebooked on a flight Thursday morning. I do feel blessed to be in a situation in which it does not affect me much and in fact get to spend a few extra days with my husband. I do hope though that things begin looking up and that I will be able to make it out on Thursday. Until then, I will enjoy the extra few days here in Berlin with my husband.

Officially Sold

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

We sold our house, its official! We put our house up for sale by owner at the beginning of February and had an offer in six days. It took two months to close but now its finally officially over and sold. Things got a little hectic at the end trying to finalize things from across the globe but we made it work. As much as it is a relief to have that behind us I will truly miss the beauty at 818 Garfield. It was a wonderful first home filled with so many memories. I hope that one day I will find another that I love as much.

We will miss you Salt Lake City and all the wonderful people that came along with you.
