Berlin, day three — Potsdam

Last wednesday, while all of Germany celebrated the unification day, Lina and I headed to Potsdam to visit an online friend. We got to spend the day with the wonderful Jeanne and have a blast walking through the Sanssouci Park, visiting the center of the city and shooting tiny dishes at a carnival (but that was just me!), winning prizes for my lovely.

I hope you enjoy these photos as well. I have a blast preparing them to post here, to share my good times with you; it's part of what makes my work so wonderful, that I get to tell you guys about it. Thank you so much for continuously visiting, commenting and talking to me. It makes my days so much brighter.

Anyway. Enough sap, here are the photos!

Trip to Potsdam beyond the cut! 

The one on the right was taken by Jeanne.

we're children. no use in denying.

guerrilla knitting! (or as I called it, gorilla knitting. and then proceeded to giggle for the rest of the afternoon)

this is where we decided that it was confirmed that God loves Gays. there's a freaking rainbow up there. I don't need any more proof.

I just had to. I hadn't picked up a rifle in years, and it was amazing. I even won a heart for my darling! Ha! (the pic was taken by Lina)

to finish the day, I went with Lina and her family to an epic handball game! It was so incredible. Noisy, quick and fun! I loved it. Absolutely loved it. 

Berlin, day two

Now that I'm back, I finally have the time to edit and post all the photos I took in the wonderful Berlin. I had time there, too, but let's face it, guys. I was out in a new town, having the time of my life with my favorite person and... yeah. I'm posting now.

Berlin was such a huge adventure for me. I had never traveled that far alone, and being afraid of flying, it wasn't easy. But it was oh-so worthy. My time there was amazing. I wandered around town while Lina was in class, by myself, and felt like such a badass (shush, I'd never done that). It felt scary, at times. But so very exciting. I loved the city and I loved the people. I hope you can see that through my photos.

while Lina was in class, I spent a morning having Starbucks coffee (yay!) and walking around town. Can you see the air balloon? It's so amazing! I didn't have the guts to go up there, but it's so gorgeous from afar!

More under the cut!

Oh. OH. Lina brought me to Ritter, the chocolate store, where you can have chocolate made with ingredients from a huge list they have. We made one with dark chocolate, gingerbread crumbs, caramelized roasted almonds and rose pepper. Heaven! 

She looks so pretty with my glasses. 

I was in love with the red leaves. I don't have that many here; ours are mostly yellowish and never get this beautiful autumn-y color. I love their trees so much!

The bottom picture was taken by Lina. I'm a little in love with it. 

The Holocaust monument was absolutely lovely (and would have been lovelier if it wasn't for the bunch of high schoolers running around and playing hide and seek. Still).

I hope you enjoyed these; more will come in the next few days, as I have more time to process them, in the breaks of my actual work. 

There are also news to come in the next few days, regarding my work, or an alternative job I'll be doing whilst still photographing. I think you'll like it. It'll give you a few delicious photos, too. Stay tuned!
