Oh damn its Potsdam!


We went to Potsdam for the day as a group this weekend and it was insane trying to herd a group of 50 students around the city. In Potsdam we saw Cecilienhof which was the last German palace built in 1917 by the then Crown Prince Wilhelm and his wife Cecilie. The palace (aka just a large house) was also the building where the Potsdam Conference took place between the Big Three (Stalin, Churchill and Truman, and then later by Attlee). We got to see Stalin's office which was cool.
After Cecilienhof we went to Schloss Sanssouci which was Frederick the Great's pleasure palace where he collected a lot of artwork. I couldn't really take that many pictures since my camera died but I did manage to stick my head in random peoples pictures :)


All in all, Potsdam is one of the cutest cities I've ever been in!
