What was the best meal this week?:

Germany is known for its soft pretzels, which are one of my favorite snacks! After touring the museums, we went to a German restaurant and got a hot, doughy, soft pretzel served with a side of obatzda. Obatzda is a Bavarian cheese spread made with camembert cheese and butter that you dip the pretzel into. It was food heaven!

What music did I listen to this week?:

In Berlin, I heard mainly American pop music. It is funny how much American music and film you see when you visit cities in other parts of the world. Berlin was no different! 

What activity was the most fun this week?:

I love going to museums! This week, my friends and I visited this really beautiful museum in Berlin called the Neues Museum. The thing that was cool about this museum is they have tons of ancient artifacts on display, including the famous Nefertiti Bust. You couldn't take any pictures in the room where the bust is displayed, but it was really neat to see in person.
