Here are some shots I took of the Reichstag dome in Berlin

This is total architecture porn

Remember my 28-year-old teacher from my last story, Herr Tavares? Today he took me, Cody, Avis, Miranda, Patrick, Uriel, and Lexi to a bar for dinner during the Euro Cup. He helped us pick what to drink and with ordering also.

Lexi got Sprite, Uriel got Coke, Miranda got alcohol-free beer, Avis got wine and a screwdriver, Cody got rum and Coke, Herr Tavares got some kind of beer, and Patrick and I got dark beer (as Kyle recommended)

Everyone got right on their drinks and I hung back a bit because I’d still never had beer and I don’t have any actual interest in drinking. The beer is just for th sake of having a beer in Germany.

I had my first sip and I just tried to figure out the flavor. Every time I took a sip I was just trying to figure it out. Eventually I just set my my down and said to the group, “Beer tastes like repressed childhood memories.”

Herr Tavares found this to be the most hilarious thing ever and he was just dying. While he was laughing he yelled, “Oh my god! That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about beer and it came from a little fucking 16-year-old girl!”

He was so caught off-guard by my statement that that was all he could say

And for the record I’m not 16 and that was the second time he called me that today. I had to forgive him though because that was just the best reaction ever
