Last Day In Berlin, Potsdam
By Max | October 5, 2008
Last night’s game was awesome. Penn State handled Purdue a lot better than the score indicated. Their one touchdown was penalty assisted, and PSU missed a couple of opportunties. The score could easily have been 30 - 0. Not bad for the first Big Ten road game. I think Daryll Clark will be much more confident heading into the Wisconsin game which should be our first real test.
After the game, I went out with the Australians from the hostel again. We found out about another warehouse party. This place was the largest club I have ever been to. There must have been a thousand people crammed into a giant warehouse. We were told to arrive at midnight, and we partied until 5:30am. It was pretty fun. Berlin has definitely lived up to its party reputation. I don’t think these people sleep.
Today it rained, but I decided to check out Potsdam on a whim. I know everyone loves analogies, so Potsdam is to Berlin as Versailles is to Paris. There are several palaces in Potsdam as well as one of the largest gardens in Europe. Frederick the Great and the other Prussian Kaisers hung out there. I took a 2 hour bus tour, but to do it right, you need to really get there early and spend the whole day walking around to the different sites. Our bus just drove us around and we snapped a few quick photos, but didn’t have time to actually walk into any of the palaces. That was fine with me, because I was cold and wet most of the time, but if I ever go back, I’ll make sure to plan better.
This famous photo was taken at one of the Potsdam palaces:
And so was this less than famous photo:

You like tired in this one! Are you ready for the trip back soon to the warm dessert of Phoenix?

Yeah I was exhausted in this photo. The night before I was out until 5am. I am ready to sleep in a real bed. I am not exactly ready for work.

2) When have you ever been ready for work?
