COFFEE BREAK 185

+ updated at 4:50pm ESDT on Wednesday, July 7, 2010

+ Spain just defeated Germany 1-0 in the WorldCup semifinals.  I'm a little disappointed since I got interested in the Worldcup games traveling through Germany.  The finalists are Spain and The Netherlands.

+ I just uploaded some Berlin Photos.  Go to http://www.pbase.com/abundancetrek/berlinjune2010

+ One of our great finds in Berlin was an exhibit entitled Wege, Irrwege and Umwege which is loosely translated as the Paths and Detours on the way to German Parliamentary Democracy. It is in a museum located in The Deutscher Dom, a restored church building in Der Gendarmenmarkt.  The exhibit is sponsored by the Bundestag, the German Parliament.  The church has not been used as a church since its partial destruction in World War 2. 

+ The heatwave continues.  Highs in mid 90s F. since Monday and expected to last through tomorrow.  New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC all topped 100 F. yesterday.
