Potsdam

On the way home from Berlin (Szczecin), we needed a coffee to keep going. Of course Dave’s first question was: “Is there a Starbucks?”

And what do you know? On the way home from Berlin is Potsdam.  Potsdam where we’ve never been. Potsdam that has it’s very own Starbucks city mug. Score! We’d barely been on the road an hour before we veered off into new, never-before-explored-by-us, territory.  Turns out that visiting the world one Starbucks at a time has a serious upside.

Potsdam is adorable! Gorgeous buildings. Adorable cobblestone streets. Fantabulous Christmas decorations. Stunning architecture.  Okay, that last one?  I googled Potsdam after we came home & it turns out it has a heavy Dutch influence. No wonder I swooned so hard!  I do love the familiar more than the unfamiliar.  Regardless, our little hour wandering Potsdam cemented one thing in stone for me, I need to come back.
