Day 6

 Today, Saturday the 9^th, was my first complete free day from the class studies.  I took it pretty easy today and tried to enjoy various parts of Berlin with my two roommates (Victoria and, Sarah) and Aaliyah.  We wondered through Berlin Technical University and voyaged on the U-Bahn for a good while.  Eventually we found a delicious lunch and then continued to explore.  We then found our way at Victoria Park, which was amazing!  There we found the park’s huge rocky waterfall right in the middle of the city of Berlin.  After climbing up to the top of the waterfall we all got to enjoy great views of the city from atop.  Afterwards, we made our way back to the apartments where Aaliyah and I proceeded to look up weekend trips for our 2 free weekends we have at the end of the month.  Our group then took the short walk over to Brandenburg Gate where we watched the end Germany vs. Portugal for the Euro Cup, needless to say Germany won!!  Watching the game there was intense, it was like the Super Bowl mixed with one endless party on Bourbon Street.  I really enjoyed taking part in watching Deutschland win their first game in the Cup and I cannot wait to go watch Germany’s second game Wednesday night.
