The rest of my time in Salzberg was so great! I feel so lame whenever i´m writing on my blog because i feel like i say the same things about each place that i´m in..."this place is so great...", "its so beautiful...", "its so amazing..." BUT honestly, i am at a loss for words beacause each place that i have been to has been AWESOME!! The cool thing is that i have a favorite characteristic and/or experience from each city i´ve been to, which is making it hard to pick a favorite......the "which has been your favorite place?" question has got to be the most frequently asked question among travelers.
Ok, one day in Salzberg consisted of spending a whole day on a bike i rented, which allowed me to see so much in a short time. The weather was perfect, i went on a fortress tour, checked out some shops, ate some yuuuuuummy apple desert and watched the Sound Of Music...lame i know, but they play it at our hostel everyday and i'd never seen it! It was waaay long, but cool to see it in the city where it was filmed:) I took the night train last night to Berlin, which was quite the experience!! I felt totally safe, but i almost missed my connecting train because my first train was LATE! I was sweating bullets running to the train, but i ended up making it in plenty of time. Got to Berlin at 8 am, so i had the whole day to feel out this new city. I went on a killer free walking tour and learned so much about the history of the city-the holocaust, berlin wall, cold war-and i think i'll definitely go on another tour tomorrow of a concentration camp near by. This Jewish Memorial i went to today was heart wrenching, but i definitely want to delve deeper into the history of the holocaust while i'm here.
Adios for now, but thanks for checking in on me:) I love you all!
so much love, jess
p.s. TRACE, so good to hear from you...can't wait to catch up when i'm back in SLO town!

Hopping out of a plane! You rule.
Enjoy the next few days, and remember Europe isn't going anywhere, so no matter how sad you will be leaving, there is nothing but more opportunities and reasons to return.
Have fun!
