The Wall, Swimming and The Final Game





This morning we slept in till about 11:30 AM. But Lisha said that she woke up at about 7:45 or so. Lisha was board of waiting for ever so she went and woke up Anna, Kaelei and Kali. After we ate breakfast we walked to "The Wall Museum". It was a small museum telling about the development of the wall and how people tried to flee from East Berlin to West Berlin. We got to see part of the wall and the "dead zone". The "dead zone" is the area where a lot of people were killed by the boarder. Many times people lost there lives to border patrol men and land mines by the wall. At first, there was no wall, it was just a barb wire fence. There used to be several houses next to the wall, and before they were torn down people would try to jump from the Windows and tried to land on the other side of the border.

After seeing the wall we went swimming. It was interesting because the pool that we went to was at a lake and the pool was inside the lake. It was different. But we had lots of fun. We were all trying to find cute guy but we didn't have any success.
After swimming we headed strait to the train station. We got on the train in Berlin at about 7 PM and got on our way to Hannover. At 9 PM we switched trains in Hannover and went on our way to Burgdorf. We were all very anxious to get home because the Final game for the European Cup started at 8:45. As soon as we got to the station in Burgdorf we got off the train and Anna's mom, Katharine, and we all ran to the car saying, "We are so glad to see you but hurry, we don't want to miss anymore of the game!" So Katharine drove us home and we got home just in time to watch the entire 2nd half. Well... Germany lost to Spain with a score of 0-1. Quinn's family was over and they all left kinda sad but I think we will live.

We sure are enjoying having Pauline with us and now I am anxious for Lisha to come home. I am sure she is excited to come home to see the new baby.

See you tomorrow Lisha.

Wow, time just blows by!!!! I haven't had a chance to sit down and read the blog. You girls have done alot over the past week.
I sure wish I could have been there to see the concentration camps and the wall. You all have seen something I really want to go see someday. I hope you got a good lesson on what happened there it was a dark spot on society and I am just glad it turned out the way it has.
Sounds like lisha is about on her way home. I hope the best for her in the final stages home. As for you other girls now what trouble will you get into now that you don't have lisha to keep you out of trouble? Keep having fun and please more pictures.....
