First, may I say that the weather, again, was absolutely beautiful. Cole and I went out to the lake, Wannsee (fun fact: in German the W is pronounced as a V, so one would say "Vannsee"), situated on the outskirts of Berlin where the dense forest begins. It was gorgeous, surrounded by tremendous houses and thick, green trees. We took a ferry across and enjoyed ice cream on the other side of the lake.
This evening we went to a Fisherhutte, which is just a former fisherman’s hut turned restaurant upon the lake. It was absolutely wonderful as the sun was setting across the calm water. Friends of Heidi and Greg joined us, diplomats, and having lived in China, India, and other various countries, they provided very intriguing conversation. The day was pleasant.
