Berlin to Bangor

Well we have finally arrived safe and sound in Bangor. We got back late wedneday afternoon. It was a long day of traveling as we ended up in Berlin. We had a good time in Berlin. We visited the museums and checked out the remains of the Berlin Wall and WWII things. I wasn't a big fan of Berlin after we had been to Prague, Rome and Venice. We did only spend one day there too. The thing that got us we occasionally you would be walking and there would just be a big stench of rotten water and sewage. It wasn't appealing at all and it seemed really random. We will have have some pictures up sometime here in the near future, I hope. We have been busy since we got back unpacking, washing clothes and writing papers. We got both of our papers down yesterday afternoon and turned them in on time. It wouldn't have been so bad but my computer crashed the last day in Berlin and so I lost my entire paper and notes and Anna lost her notes. Luckily there were enough people that had extra notes we could use. We also had plenty of time so it worked out. It was just rather stressful. Spring break was good. It was the first spring break for both of us that we weren't out doing a mission project of somekind. It was a change. We both missed not being able to go anywhere, but we still had a great time with what we did. We are both sick of traveling for awhile. Sick of airports, airport security, and all the scheduling.
We had great days in Outdoor Pursuits yesterday. Anna went sea Kayaking and I went sea level traversing. Sea level traversing is just like rock climbing only doing it several feet above the water. We also were able to suspend and pull ourselves across to rock cliffs. It was really fun. The sun was out and it was a warm day so even though the water was cold we stayed relatively warm. Anna says that she had a fun day even with with a little bit of motion sickness. She said the hardest part was sitting in the kayak all day and dealing with shoulder pain. I would have to agree with her on the sitting in the kayak thing.
Today has been cloudy and rainy. We finally slept in and caught up on some much needed sleep. Tonight we are going to make Lamb tacos and probably relax.
