Berlin, Germany

I am having such a great time in Europe. My baggage arrived yesterday and I finally was able to leave Frankfort and took a train to Berlin. I am having such a blast meeting diverse people from all over the world and was able do some sight seeing as well. So far I have seen remnants of the Berlin Wall in East Berlin while learning about the history of the wall from a documentary center. I also walked through "Checkpoint Charlie" and saw the display of historical events leading to the missile crisis and cold war. Germany definitely has an intense history!

I think I want to stay in Berlin for one more day because there is a few more things I would like to see. I will most likely take a tour tomorrow and see more of Berlin before heading to Dassau where my great grandfather was born. I hope to be able to connect deeper with my roots and find more information about my family.
