The Miner Details

thought of a joke earlier today; not sure if it is offensive
'why should you not ask Germans for directions?......because they always tell you to take the Third Right'

currently i am staying in the town of Berlin. one of the up and coming art capitals of the world. just yesterday a city wide art exibition opened up for the public to see. it uses the city as a media for the expression....mind bomb.
so i already mentioned Kitna Hora. but Prague is one of the seven mysterious mysteries of the world, self appointed. it is the most beautiful cities i have been to. the train ride from Prague to Berlin is also one of beauty expressed though nature and the adaptability of man. people found a way to buld century old cities right into the cliffs that drop straight to the river. its a good honey moon location,.....anybody? in Prague we met a wheaton alum that was working at a local christian school and hung out with us for two nights that last night we were there he had us over to his house and we made him spaghetti. mom i made you proud. dont underestimate the power combination of kindness and italian food. he had some very encouraging words for us as he did the same program we are currently on. Prague is actually in Bohemia.

today in Berlin, we happened across a breakdance movie being shot. i tried to sneak my way into the background. im a celebrity over here. i had to split  from the group for awhile as i needed to think and it is hard for me to do that with people around. God puts very odd things on your heart whenever you dont expect it. ah yes and we went to the jewish memorial today. makes u think about right and wrong and dreidels.
hey coleman and hannah
do you want anything

  3. You're a hoot and a holler, Derek.

    Can you tell about the kinds of people you're meeting and what the conversations with them are like?

  4. so i watched a video on wimp.com called "coning" that reminded me of you. basically, you go to a restaurant (preferably drive thru) and order an ice cream cone or two. when they hand it to you, you grab it by the icecream instead of the cone and act completely normal, like nothing is weird. I dont know if prague has any ice cream cones to order, but you might want to try it out...pumped for you about this trip
