Days 1 and 2-- Plane and resting

The planes were so annoying. One and a half hours, seven hours, and another three and a half. First and last trips, I sat by myself, but the long trup I sat with Casey, Kristen, and Rose. Rose kept having coffee... not a good idea. Eventually, we got to Berlin. Thankfully, Rob, our tour guide, allowed us to go to the hotel, where we showered and changed before Rob took us on a walking tour of Berlin. We had an awesome chicken dish for dinner. We all hung out talking and playing cards for a while before we went to bed. Lots of people were in each other's rooms after curfew, though, and making lots of noise, so curfew was cut by half an hour for the next day.
