schwimmen

Today we went swimming after work. Actually it was our 4th time swimming in 6 days. It's so hot! We went to Krumme Lanke, which apparently is where all the naked people go. That was fine; it's nice that you don't need to hike around looking for a changing room. Here is a picture of the lake that someone posted on the internet (we forgot our camera).

You have to be a crazy person to be comfortable right now. The lady at the bank said that people were coming in on their days off so that they could sit in the air conditioning. And I have never seen so many adults eating popsicles.

We played beach volleyball yesterday! That was super fun. There is a place in Prenzlauerberg called BeachMitte. It's a tiki bar surrounded by about 50 sand volleyball courts. How many dumptruck loads of sand they had to move, I don't know. Anyway, it's like a pool hall, you just pay for your hour or two and they give you a ball. There were some Americans setting up a game for expats over the internet, so we went. They were really nice and we will probably play again next week.

Next to the volleyball courts they have the raddest parkour course I have ever seen:

In America this is one giant lawsuit (or lots of small lawsuits?) waiting to happen. But in Germany? Maybe they can get away with having no safety of any kind. Or maybe before you go up they give you a parachute.
