Awesome Book Mail!

 

Last week I received a package with awesomeness inside!

Jeffe sent me a hard cover and ARC of her newest book Among the Thorns!

Look at the pretty flower!

And a cool map!

We just bought the International paperback ourselves, so now we have three gorgeous copies of this amazing book!

But there was more!

The US & UK paperback and Italian translation of Never the Roses!

The books all went with our other copies of Never the Roses.

Thanks, Jeffe!!!

But there was still more!

A copy of Jeffe's Blades, Books and the Bandit.

She also sent a book by Jeaniene Frost

She arranged some signed books for us as well:

And Jeffe even got us some bookish things, like a book bag.

And a key chain & a coin to flip if you want to know if you should read more or go to sleep. (Always read more! But the sheep are cute.)

And there was a cool gecko!!

Thanks, Jeffe.

You are awesome!

A Trip to Berlin - Day 8

 On our last day in Berlin we decided to visit another museum on Museum Island

First we went in search of something to eat and I spotted a cool bridge.

Grumpy Fish

Picture spam of the Dom.

I spotted a familiar statue! 

Sullivan took a picture with that statue in 2017 (see below)

We visited the Neues Museum this time (New Museum)

It has lots of Egyptian statues and such.

These came from old buildings and or graves I think.

Nefertiti and Achnaton, I think.

I really liked this statue.

Hatshepsut

Achnaton again, I think. I really should take notes.

A king who might have been Tutankhamun.

Achnaton and Nefertiti.

I also saw the famous Nefertiti Buste, but you couldn't take pictures in that room.

After our visit to the museum we went to a beer garden where we would meet our friends for dinner.

I spotted a cool statue on the way.

The statue was part of a bridge.

At the beer garden we had pretzels and a drink while waiting for our friends (we were early).

When they arrived we had dinner and more drinks. We had a great time.

But then we had to leave to catch our bus back home.

After a long trip by S-Bahn and city bus we reached the bus station where our night bus back home would leave.

One last picture while we were leaving Berlin.

After a long long drive through the night we arrived back in Groningen.

What a fun week!

A Trip to Berlin - Day 7 (lots of pictures)

 

We decided to visit Museum Island on day 7.

There was a U-Bahn stop close to Museum Island.

There was a crow!

I wonder if it was a friend of the crows at the Tiny Lodges.

We went to the Altes Museum (Old Museum)

It has Greek and Roman statues among others.

We wandered around and took pictures of the statues that spoke to us.

This was either Apollo or a goddess/woman.

They weren't sure.

Cool lion.

I really loved this statue.

This was either a mother or a fertility goddess.

With that many babies I hope it was a goddess.

There was a small columbarium.

This was a statue of a girl playing a dice game!

I spotted a boar!

Really mean dogs were biting him.

Cool snake.

This was Dionysos.

A statue of a dog. 

I don't think it was one of the mean dogs.

Satyr and Hermaphrodite

It was a really cool museum to wander around in.

The Dom.

Next we went for a walk to the Berliner Fernsehturm.

There it is!

But there was also a church.

WE decided to check out the church first.

I remembered that Sullivan told me there was a really cool fountain near this church.

It turned out it was being renovated so it was covered...

I found another fountain thing close to the church, though.

Fernsehturm

We then walked back to the U-Bahn near Museum Island and went back to our tiny lodge.

In the evening we went out for dinner.

We found a restaurant that had really yummy Mexican food.

And yummy drinks as well.

Next: Our last day in Berlin
