This week made me miss buses

This week I learned a lot. I learned that axolotls are some of the cutest things I have ever seen. They cuddle together I mean how cute is that. Next I learned that I am not fond of bikes. I figured I knew this already but it was confirmed this week. I was bruised in places I had never been bruised before. I am glad that we rode bikes before the Berlin tour because that is going to make things easier. I also learned that I have a super power when it comes to bikes...I can hit every pothole along the way without even trying. I don't know if it is a useful skill but I have it nonetheless. I also need to have a German citizenship so I can get prescriptions for spas. I have eczema and it has never been as good as it was after the spa day. I tried saunas for the first time and did not care for them. They just felt too hot and I felt uncomfortable (like itchy) when I sweat in there. I learned that the steam room with 100% humidity is amazing. While it did not help my hair it definitely helped my skin and I felt like my breathing improved too. After we were all cleaned and relaxed, we did a mud walk. I am a microbiology major and was very excited to learn about the science behind the mud and was disappointed. I was under the impression the mud walk was more about the mud but the guide talked more about mollusks than anything else. I can say that I have done a mud walk but will never do a mud walk again. After our trip to Norderney I went to Amsterdam. I have wanted to go to Amsterdam since I was 12 years old and saw pictures in a travel magazine. I fell in love with the city and its very unique atmosphere. I was visiting my sister and we avoided most of the touristy parts. By doing this I got to truly experience the city and I loved how relaxed the atmosphere was. I had heard that putting peanut butter on French fries was something the Dutch liked to do, and while I couldn’t try this I still had many French fries without peanut butter. In conclusion this week was fun but too much physical exercise this week.
