A Birthday Celebration

After a quick lunch of bratwurst and coke, we continued on to Freie Universitat Berlin (Berlin University) to hear about German higher education. Enough said….
However, things got much more fun because it was Sarah’s birthday today, so we had to celebrate. We tricked her to come up to the top of the hotel and presented her with a John F. Kennedy doughnut. When Kennedy said his famous line, “I am a Berliner!” he actually really said “I am a doughnut.” He misused the word and so the Germans knew what he meant, but it was still funny. Still we all shared doughnuts in honor of her birthday today. You can see Sarah receiving her gifted from (l to r) Gerrit, Linda, and Evelyn, and then Sarah. (Gerrit and Evelyn are our Berlin guides during our time here—Linda is our program leader from Ohio.)
