I'm supposed to be writing a six page review, but instead I'm updating my blog. Just add it to another list of ever-expanding ways to distract myself from my actual, pertinent duties.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!

If you have nothing better to do, check out her photography website - she takes stunning pictures of children. And she turned 21 today!!

We (Sonda, Kristin, Court, and myself) returned from Dresden yesterday. I studied for MCAT almost the entire time on the train (except for that small break I took when our coach was detached from the rest of the train and we almost got stranded in Zittau)! Germany was fun... every city is starting to look the same... lots of old buildings, similar cobblestone patterns in the streets, and a winding metro system that I almost get on going in the wrong direction once a journey... so instead of seeing more grand buildings whose troubled history escaped us and whose names we would surely forget in the next 24 hours (German is quite complicated, after all), we decided to spend some time in the glorious green park in front of the Zwinger palace. 

Lots of laughs and silliness ensued. 

The dappled pathway...

Ta da!

You Tarzan, Courtney Jane.

Tree climbing is the best way to stay young at heart.

We are quite the pair... and we love old buildings and cute, old people very much.

It was more fun upside down!! Plus, we needed the laughter.

Tumble break to catch our breath and nurse our handstand wounds.. :)

After kindergarden recess in front of the palace, we walked down a winding path that brought us to an exquisite fountain... which immediately and simultaneously invoked the thought (in both Courtney's and my mind) to CLIMB IN! 

Pretty water, cold water.

The one shower she took all week long.

The fountain was formed entirely out of tiny mosaic tiles. 

... and the colors were gorgeous in the sunshine.
