week 34: garlic breath and celebrations

There is nothing as wonderful as restructuring your resume and rewriting your cover letter a million times! Oh wait. Pretty much everything sounds more wonderful than that. But hey, I can't get a job without it, so do what must be done! Non-sequiter: it was Alex's birthday this week! And my host parents had a cool summer party in their garden. Check it out!

week 33: yup, the Baltic Sea is cold

Early this week I got to see my friend Kat! She came to visit Berlin and we went around the city exploring. Then on Friday it was off to the Ostsee to take a dip where all Germans go vacation! In the picture to the right, I am playing Vikings Chess...pretty epic beach game.

week 32: short term visitors and mistakes we all make

I had 2 very short term visitors this week: Juan, my number 1 slurp, came to Berlin for a total of 12 hours on Monday, so we had a nice dinner! Valeria came from Spain to visit for a little less than 24 hours, before she headed off to Miami. Then, I had the party night of a bit too much drinking for George and Felix's Birthday!

week 30 & 31: sailing through Greece - gorgeous doesn't cut it

Seriously. It does not get more beautiful than the Greek Islands. I sailed the Ionian sea and hit up the islands of Meganisi, Atokos, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaka, and Lefkada...not to mention on a boat full of wonderful Greek people! I ate extremely well, I swam in gorgeous waters, and got to look up at the stars from the net of our catamaran.

week 28 & 29: Germany wins the World Cup!

Deutschland! My new land has officially won the World Cup 2014! Damn was it amazing. That's not the only thing that went down this week though. There was also a trip to DC and NYC all mashed up into a week of some serious fun!

week 27: the heat has been brought

Our newly invented game - Flip n' Slide - is taking the nation by storm! Of course it was invented on America's Birthday. On top of that, there was some Miami Beach action and some cocktails to push us through the long weekend.
