Hello everyone! Berlin is an exciting place! There is so much to do, so much to see. I've only been here a week, but I've seen so much. Among the sites inclued: Brandonberger Tur, Der Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and a part of the Berlin Wall, Die Jüdische Kirche, Berliner Dome, and many more. I will go into more detail when I can add pictures to each name. I've taken several pictures (some keepers) and I intend to post them as soon as I get my computer up and running, hopefully within a week or so.
My first night here, I stayed in a "Jugendherberger" which is a hostel auf Englisch. It was really neat. I met two guys from Newcastle, England and chatted witht htem for a while. Later that night they, myself, and another Ami (from Amerikans, it's a German nickname for us Americans) went to a pub crawl. Had I not been jetlagged, it woul dhave been a fun time. Don't get me wrong because it was still a great time, I just ended up turning in by 11 pm or so, which is 4 pm Minnesotan time. I spent most of the evening talking with the Brits, which was great.
I will expand more on my adventures later. This bit was for the people who just couldn't wait to read some of my blog :)
So until later,
Tchüß and grüße aus Berlin!
