First night in Europe!

Here it is! For all you people who when I mentioned was going to be living in Europe for 5 months said, "ooo make a blog!" This is my first post that I am posting from Berlin, Germany from my lovely hostel. Just got back from a night of exploring the city and am already seeing the differences between here and California. The most noteworthy and obviously important difference, is the shoes people wear! Hence the title "From Santa Cruz to Fancy Shoes". No matter where you look, what the age of the person is, or what you are doing everybody has the greatest shoes! Ha! I mean I was warned that in Europe people look at your shoes before they look at your face, but never have I fully understood that quote until experiencing the taste and class that Europeans present themselves with on every street. Speaking of streets... A prostitute pulled my friends pony tail on the side walk! It's a long story and I am much to tired from the 15 hour plane flight to delve into it right now, but I will try my best to keep this updated and semi-interesting for all my friends and fam. PS a group of new friends and I went out to dinner tonight and they laughed at me for using a straw with my giant 1/2 liter beer! The waiter laughed at me when I asked, only to return minutes later with a purple straw, hence, the picture. Anyway, stay tuned for pictures of the beautiful city and many stories to come.

Guten Tag!
