The weekend...

This was the first weekend I didn't do too much. Because of the ankle injury, I have been really cautious about what I do and how much I walk. I have done a lot of research about this injury because I have never heard of "ruptured" ligaments just torn. It is basically the same thing but all information I have found says you need to take real care of it so the ligaments can heal correctly, if not it could cause long time damage.

Ok so enough about the ankle, you can tell I'm a worrywart.

Friday I took it easy. Didn't do much of anything but Gina and I baked three different things. The first was a chocolate cake-- I think we ate more of the batter than the finished cake-- then we made cornflakes covered in chocolate, a real yummy treat. Last was this thing called an Amerikaner, I don't know why because I have never had one but it was good too!

Saturday we went to Einstein's house. It was his summer house in a place called, Caputh. It was cute little village that we had to take a car ferry to get to.

After visiting Caputh, we went to the Allied Museum in Berlin. It had so much history behind it. Half of the museum was in an old movie theater for U.S. soldiers. It showed what it was like during the war and how other countries like America and Britain helped Germany during the stressful times.

U.S. soldiers would fly in food and other supplies needed during the Cold War.

It was very interesting, learning the history and what happened during that time. There was even a piece of the Berlin Wall. 

"Construction began on The Berlin Wall early in the morning of Sunday, August 13, 1961. It was a desperate – and effective - move by the GDR (German Democratic Republic) to stop East Berliners escaping from the Soviet-controlled East German state into the West of the city, which was then occupied by the Americans, British and French.

Sunday it was snowy and cold. I took a walk down to the Gleinicker Bridge, where it separated the the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic. The border ran through the middle of the bridge, that's why it is two different color greens. 

It was freezing out so I grabbed a hot chocolate in the museum. I didn't look in the museum, I figured I would save that for another day because my ankle was throbbing and I couldn't feel my toes. So I relaxed in the cafe and warmed up before walking back. 

It was a nice, quiet weekend. I only have two more weekends in Germany so I am hoping to heal quickly so I can go out and explore. Maybe, even experience the night life! :) 

Hoping everyone has a wonderful Valentines day. X Glücklicher Valentinstag!❤
