July 25, 2010: Apartment project…
Tony sent me some new photos from our project in Graves County. It appears everything is moving along.
Waiting on some action photos with Tony in them - maybe next week!
Mother reports a racoon got into the house! Around 3 am in the morning. Scared her quite a bit - but she ran it off!!!! Apparently it opened a window and came in. Needless to say the windows are all locked tightly now!

July 23, 2010: Dinosaur day in Berlin :) - also chilly here!
We spent today at the Museum of Natural History - which was AWESOME! We saw some huge dinosaurs and all sorts of rocks. Big big collection of rocks - I know - I know - not overly exciting for some people. But - I loved it!
We walked outside the hotel this morning and it was chilly! Spitting rain and chilly. I defin am not complaining about it being chilly. Especially when I look at the forecast back home - terrible heat wave continues. I am certain that everyone is going to be sick of summer. Speaking of winter - looks like a La Nina winter ahead of us. That could be quite eventful.
Some pics from today

Brandenburg Gate
We went to the Pergamon Museum - which has a ton of ancient Greek art and Babylonia works. OLD!

Pergamon Altar in the background - was brought back from Greece. It is much larger than it appears
It is from the 2nd Century BC
From Babylon
Ishtar Gate
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar_Gate
The Ishtar Gate (Assyrian: ܕܵܪܘܲܐܙܲܐ ܕܥܵܐܫܬܲܪ translit: Darwaza D’Ishtar, Arabic:بوابة عشتار) was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon. It was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city.
Dedicated to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, the Gate was constructed of blue glazed tiles with alternating rows of bas-relief sirrush (dragons) and aurochs.
Ishtar Gate - 575 BC!!!! Now that is old.

July 21, 2010: A day in Berlin - at the zoo :)
Some pics from today - we had a blast at the Berlin Zoo - it was amazing. WELL worth going - never know about the zoo. But the Berlin Zoo was so good - great - that I think we are going to go back. I LOVED seeing all the animals up close. They were incredible. The only one that was sleeping was the Panda. Maybe we can catch him next time. It was pretty warm today - so maybe he wanted to nap.
Everything back home is going great. John and mother reports no problems - Jason fixed the radar issues on one of the computers - so that is good. Daddy and Tony report everything is going well! So - GREAT!!!

July 21, 2010: Berlin - and the revolving Mercedes sign…
We made it to Berlin. Had an awesome time at the Berlin Zoo. You could get quite close to the animals - loved the bears and the jellyfish - big fan of the jellyfish!!! One of the better zoos I have visited.
Took a bunch of photos - but the internet here is very slow - so unsure how many I will upload - will put them on Facebook. Easier.
