A biking adventure in Golm/Postdam

Sunday, October 26, 2008
This week tested our patience. Our apartment in Berlin was not available for another week, which meant we were in Golm for one...more...week. Don't get me wrong, I know there are MANY worse places in the world to live than Golm. It's just that once people leave here to go home (mostly in Berlin), this place becomes deserted....plain empty. Well, the other day while Matt was working, I felt the need to get out and explore, yet didn't have a train pass at the moment and didn't really feel like making the hour commute into Berlin. So....I borrowed a bike! I rode through Golm (which took all of 3 minutes) and into Potsdam. I reached Sanssouci Park and explored the massive park using the various trails that wind throughout. What a beautiful park! Although the bike was a little rusty and the brakes were on their way out, it felt so nice to be out. The weather is turning cooler (50's this week) and pretty soon it will become more of a challenge to get out enjoy the great outdoors. So....I was thankful for this day of biking and exploring. Here are some pics from my outing:

Many of the homes in Postdam/Golm resemble this one:

Last but not least...this is the guesthouse where we've
been living for the last 2 1/2 weeks!
