July 13 – Berlin

 

A HAIKU:

 

We woke up early

And went to breakfast to eat

With our referees.

 

Breakfast was tasty

However the long walk back

Was long and stressful.

 

We then prepared for

Our match against the Germans

Who are very skilled.

 

We had a rough match

Because they hit very hard

But we still fought back.

 

It’s raining today

So we were lucky to bus

To the sights today.

 

We saw many things

Including Checkpoint Charlie

And Berliner Dom.

 

The Berliner Dom

Had far too many stair flights;

We were out of breath.

 

And Checkpoint Charlie

Was unique in its own way

And enjoyable.

 

Then all of us went

To small shops downtown to buy

Awesome  souvenirs.

 

Stopped at a bake store

And had delicious desserts

That were quite filling.

 

Went back home tired

Yet content with what we saw.

It was a good day.
