Schloß Charlottenburg.

I have a lot of time on my hands and I deicided that I should start explore on the time I have. This basically means that I should bike more and see parts of this city that I haven't seen yet. One of the places I hadn't been to was Schloß Charlottenburg. So I looked at a map how to bike there and did it. It went better then I though. I usually have a pretty bad sense of direction, but on a bike I think I'm better at finding places.
Half an hour later I where in Charlottenburg, parked my bike and started to walk though the palace gardens.

I think I thought about the Schloß because of the season. Three summers in a row I worked in places around Stockholm, with start May-June and going on to September. So by now I would give tours and take care of tourists all day. I would walk to baroque gardens for a morning walk and talk about art and history all day with my collages. Even if we just had a day in the week of we would spent it taking tours at other royal palaces or museums. That's how nerdy it was, and I loved that being all cultural all the time.
I can't say I really miss the job per se, but I do miss these palaces and environments I was in every day. And of course the wonderful people I worked with.

I was in Charlottenburg early and decided to walk though the gardens, find a spot and read in the sun.  So I walked though the baroque gardens and around the palace. It is just beautiful and I started to think about other palaces and gardens. The connection between Prussia and Sweden during the 1700s and other things I talked about in my tours. 

Some other day I will go into the palace and spend hours looking around inside.

This period of time, the 1700s and 1800s I like a lot and I want to visit more palaces, like all the ones in Potsdam, outside of Berlin. I want to read a book about Catherine the Great, my favorite royal from the 1700s, which I will as soon as I finish the books I'm reading now. The summer history Jenny is coming back.
