As you may or may not be aware, depending on whether we're Facebook friends, I have arrived in Germany! My first few days in the south-western university town of Tübingen were something of a mixed bag - I'm sure that that'll eventually find its way into a blog post somehow - and so, before the start of Tübingen's semester in October, I've temporarily decamped about as far as it is possible to go while staying within Germany's borders. I'm getting away for a little while to see the sights of the German capital with my friend Rachel, who is spending part of her Year Abroad here in Berlin.
On Saturday, we went to Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, to the south of Berlin, visiting some of the city's many palaces - here are a handful of the pictures I took.
