Day Trip from Berlin
Hello! Guest blogger, Benji's mom, here :) Benji will write more on the subject, I'm sure, but for now I wanted to post these videos I made about our day spent at the concentration camp in Germany. It was quite the opportunity to go and walk the grounds, which are now a museum. To learn more about Sachsenhausen, you can do an internet search with the name as the search term. It was primarily a camp for Soviet POWs, mainly including people accused of "political" crimes, but Jews were also part of the camp's prisoners. This was a very somber experience. Above all, I wanted to be respectful, maintaining dignity for those who suffered, and I hope these videos in no way detract from this goal.
The video above is with color and narration. The one below is a little more artsy with an old film style set to music.

go fish:version 2
How's it going? I hope your doing great because i invented a new version of go fish. It's based on the original but modified so here's how it goes:
STUFF THAT YOU NEED: cards suitable for both versions of go fish.
GOAL: get a "book''[ see glossary] of 4 cards of the same shape. [ diamonds,clovers...]
GLOSSARY:
book: see goal explanation
ace: allows you to take a desired shape from any player [ card with A in the middle ]
normal: card with the same number of shapes as the numbers in the corners.
HOW TO PLAY
a player gives 5 cards to each player.The youngest starts first. He/she asks any player for a shape that matches one of his/her cards. If the player asked does not have the card asked for,he says go fish! So,the ask'er takes a card from the stake.Then it's the other player that asks,and the same process goes on.If the player has the card that the ask'er wants,the ask'er keeps the card.If the player has a joker,it counts as a 1-3 card of any shape. The game ends when there is no more cards in the stake. If a player has run out out of cards,he/she takes 5 more from the stake. If there is no more cards,the game ends.
IMPORTANT! you are not allowed to ask the same shape as the previous player.
if you have any questions about the game,just place a comment. I would be happy to answer. Remember Berlin on the 7th. But i may do the blog a couple of days after we get back on the 10th. see you then !
AND HAVE FUN!

day 2 final full day
After breakfast,we went to the sagrada familia cathedral. It was designed by Mr.gaudi to! looked around,and it
was pretty nice. Then we had a snack at Mc Donald's again for a snack.After that,we went to a park where we
saw guella,the lizard. Really famous. After that,we had to walk a whole MILE to get to the restaurant that dad
chose for lunch. after lunch,we went shopping where i got a Messi 10 official jersey! Then we hit the ice cream shop and had some ice cream. after that,we went shopping a tiny bit more before taking our last metro in Barcelona,[ because we took a taxi to the airport.] back to the apartment/hotel suit. In the morning,dad tried every taxi station on the phone but NONE spoke English! So we had the grand pleasure of walking in the rain to a taxi station. On the way,we saw a taxi with a green light and dad did a signal but instead of slowing down,it
accelerated! We got to to the taxi station,hopped into a taxi,and got to the airport did security,and finally flew out back to Switzerland. Now that where safe at home,we can get ready for our next. see you soon on the blog!

Barcelona:day 1
hey there! I know that i haven't written in a while,but that doesn't mean that the blog is over! We took off on a "sit wherever you want to sit" plane and we landed in Barcelona inter. airport. We took a taxi to our hotel suite and most of it was good except the only fancy bed that mom and dad got and me and molly got the pull-out bed in the couch. In the morning we went to a special popular market for breakfast and mom took pictures of the food and molly was pinching her nose and says that it's stinky in there. Our breakfast was mostly just chocolate. Then we walked over to a cathedral. Not much that is really special.Then we had a snack at
Mc Donald's.[ can you believe they eat lunch at 2:00 pm and dinner at 10:00PM??!!!] then we took a funicualer,then a cable car,and finally arrived at the castle with world war 2 cannons and we saw the ''liberty of the seas",mom's cruise boat that she sailed in at the carribean! What's it doing in Barcelona? Nice castle there!
after the castle we had lunch,then we saw one of this gaudi guy's "skeleton" house. The whole house had skeleton parts. The top of the roof was like a spine and the balconies where like eyes... after that we went to a cafe and eat some dessert. I don't remember but i do know that it was goood. Then we went back to the suite for the night. Well,see you tomorrow!

last full day in texas
Again,today we basicaly hung around nanny's all day and then we went to pappy's for dinner and then we headed over to wacth michel's soft ball game. It was really cute because the coaches gently threw the balls and the asistant coach,if the kid had her feet in the wrong place,the coach would pick the up and put them in the right spot. We saw a lot of home runs. Even michele did a home run. well,gotta go! and remember,barcelona is coming up soon plus the black forest. See you soon!
