It’s what I Do!

and, how about a postive post for today?

We went to Berlin last weekend, which was GREAT.  What a great city!!  So much history and things to see, do and learn.  Amazing place really!  When I was a kid I always associated “Berlin” with something bad and evil… I mean they were communists right?  And communists did terrible things (this is what was said when *I* was a kid) and, my gosh, they weren’t even allowed to pray or read the bible there!  *gasp*    What a totally different reality!

Anyway, we walked a lot.  I like to try and be as active as possible, even if I am overweight, that doesn’t mean I can’t move and groove like everyone else. We also tried to eat as healthy as we could (though one night it was just a pure beer and bratwurst fest).  The most fun part of the trip?  The Fat Tire Bike Tour!  4½ hours of cycling and seeing the sights with a knowledgeable, funny, fantastic guide!

So just a few pics:

Here I am on the bike!

It was SUCH an amazing day as well - here in the Netherlands it rains a LOT and this summer has been no exception.  We hadn’t seen blue skies like that in ages!

It’s really a shame that I fell down the stairs later that night - I really tried to tell myself that it happened and there was nothing could do to change it, but it was really hard and I have been suffering emotionally since.

I’m nearly out of this rut though :)
