Berlin

Berlin was way better than Prague. We were there from the 12-14. The city has so much history. We arrived late at night on the 12th so we just went to bed. Nothing around our hostel was open. We stayed in East Berlin. The next day we must have walked 20 miles. We were walking from 9-9 pretty much. The highlights of the day were the surving parts of the Berlin Wall and the Holocaust memorial. There is also a gate that crosses one of the mail roads. That was cool. You will probably recognize it from old filmage during WWII. We also saw Checkpoint Charlie which was the entrance point between the US and Soviet controlled portions of Berlin after the war. All in all I would go back to Berlin. You could spend days there and still not see everything. I'm in Amsterdam now. I am leaving to go back to Berlin tomorrow morning and staying there one night and then flying to Athens on Tuesday. KC left today. He is staying in Dublin tonight and leaving for St. Louis tomorrow. I will post some pics of Berlin and Amsterdam Tuesday or Wednesday.
