Today we visited Sanssouci Palace and park. Sanssouci was home to Frederick the Great, a former king of Prussia. In the palace we saw hung pieces of artwork and large patterned silk tapestries on the walls; we had to wear big slippers over our shoes so that the marble and wooden floors wouldn't get damaged. The park was simple. Plenty of trees and statues, and a small Chinese style, light green tea house which Frederick used whenever he had tea. Also in the garden was a terrace with 132 stairs (which some if us counted for a chocolate) that led up to the grave of Frederick and next to him, his beloved dogs where the weather decided to rain on us a little. All in all another good day and our exchange partners picked us up later to do activities of their choice with us, mine was to play monopoly with another exchange partner who came over to my place to play on the Wii :) (by Vicky)
