New Year's in Berlin

We didn't have any New Year's plans, so when our friends Michelle and Jesse said they were going to Berlin for a few days, we decided to tag along.

We stayed in an apartment for two nights with them and their friends John and Katie who are currently living in Germany. Michelle was a great tour guide (apparently the rest of us aren't very good planners), and we had fun exploring the city during the two days we were there. On New Year's Eve, we joined over a million other people to brave the snow and watch some famous Berlin fireworks.

The trip was a success, although the train ride back wasn't the highlight of our lives - it took 12 hours instead of the 6 it was supposed to (who knew trains could be delayed because of snow?), and neither of us were feeling great from the night before. But we made it back, and were happy to get home and see our animals!

Here are a few pictures from the trip:
