The day started in Amsterdam where we left the hostel at 7:30 to begin a day of travel. We returned out bikes and hopped a train to Berlin. As usual our train was delayed about 20 minutes and our connection was delayed 40 but after 11 long hours of traveling, we arrived in Berlin and sought out the Ducker Berlin building to meet up with Wouter, a Ducker employee that Ben knows through working in Ducker Detroit.
He informed us of the music festival so after dropping our bags at his apartment, we took the train to northern Berlin and found thousands of people crowding fields and streets as a myriad and plethora of bands played their own unique genre to the crowd around them. One particularly large field had electronic dance music and a couple thousand drunk Germans dancing to the beat. 
Just another crazy stroke of luck that the city we are in has an amazing event the same time we are here, tomorrow we begin our site seeing phase of Berlin and are excited to see what all of our friends have been raving about when it comes to Germany.
Maybe it was kismet that your trip started in Ireland, because you certainly seem to have the luck of the Irish with you in lots of ways. I hope it continues! Love, Mom
