Stuff I Forgot

The last post had so much in it, yet I still forgot a few things I had noted that I wanted to mention.

I wanted to mention that I find the "dog culture" of Berlin very different than that of the States. We've done a ton of walking in Germany so far and everywhere we go we seem to see dogs. I taken a few pictures of some I like. But anyways, what I find interesting is the lack of "dog laws" and the unbelievable obedience of dogs here. Most everyone who is walking around with their dogs, whether its in the busy districts or the community neighborhoods, doesn't have their dogs on leashes. However, I have yet to see a dog wonder from its owner or bother anyone else. They stick to the side of the owner or follow close behind. They're so well trained its amazing. The dogs here are absolutely beautiful too. The only thing I don't like, is that the dogs are allowed to just shit anyway on the sidewalks. Kinda gross and makes you watch where you're walking all the time.

I also wanted to note that I've decided I want to save this summer for a really nice camera. I'm loving this photography stuff and would love an upgrade. So I guess that means that I'll be the photo guy from now on at all family functions haha. Maybe even a class next semester.....we'll see.

......Das ist alles

Great to read your blogs...european culture amazes me and is very interesting to say the least..I think the people of Miami may have learned a thing or two from the Germans...when me and your Father, Stacy and Tony went to see the race a couple of years ago I noticed when we were walking around there was a lot of dog shit on the sidewalks...(maybe it's like that in Cuba too)
