On Saturday Karisti and I decided to check out the Newseum, the museum of news that everyone had been raving about. It was amazing! And the best part, which was a complete surprise to us, was that there is an exhibit of the Berlin Wall there. How fun is that, especially for us!! Yep, that is a real piece of the Berlin Wall you see there. We were so happy to see it. It sounds silly, but it was like seeing an old friend - it did my heart good. I know that sounds weird - the Wall is a symbol of a terrible time but it is also such a strong symbol of Berlin and I miss living in Berlin every day.
The view from the balcony of the Newseum is pretty amazing, as you can see. In addition to the Berlin Wall, there were really interesting exhibits on photos from Barack Obama's campaign, election, and inauguration, and a moving exhibit about 9/11. The next time you are in DC, I highly recommend the Newseum.
We spent Saturday night at Camden Yards, watching a game between the Orioles and the Nationals. There was a big group of us and we had a great time. I have a hard time paying attention at baseball games, but I enjoyed drinking beer and sitting outside in a ballpark on a warm summer night.
