Fun and Games

My friend Amanda came to visit last week. She was a trooper as she is not only about 6 months pregnant but also has a broken kneecap. She broke it the Monday before she left on Friday to fly to Germany. It only changed our plans slightly, and we had a great time. We went to Berlin and Prague. This was the first time I had been to Berlin as a tourist. We went to the DDR museum, Checkpoint Charlie, Potsdamer Platz, and Berlinale, the Berlin International Film Festival. We also went to Prague and stayed only a few houses down the street from the Charles Bridge!

One of the most fun things we did was a game we entitled "How well do YOU know the 'Coe?" We each gave three clues about someone from Glencoe, and the other person tried to guess. It was great fun. An example of a clue might be "went on one date with Amanda" or "was the salutatorian." It was really fun. We played the game for at least an hour on the train back from Prague.

It was a great week. Unfortunately, school starts tomorrow. Yuck!
