We'd been waiting for today since we got here: we got to go into the city!
First thing in the morning though, we had workout. We did 5 x 5' pieces with rates 26-30, and I was in the 4-. Though that practice was pretty tough, Cass thought we did pretty well and let us jump in the river, finally! It was awesome to run and cannonball after the dock, washing all that sweat off in the perfect water. Even better, she canceled the second practice we were supposed to have, so we headed back to the boathouse early, getting ready to hit the city.
And the city was incredible. We took the train in and split off into groups to explore downtown Berlin. My friends and I saw the Berlin wall memorial, went into some shops including a four-story football shaped department store, and a cool little vintage store in West Berlin. I'm stoked to go again on Thursday.
