We didn't really understand this.

Jana

Holocaust Memorial

It was cool, but people were climbing all over it and stuff.

Berliner Dom

Berlin Cathedral.

The facade of this house of God should remain a place of warning remembrance for all time. NEVER FORGET IT.

The Synagogue

It was very cool.

What a feat to take us thru the travels of Matthew and friends. Loved it..........Your culinary tastes are improving...... we will have you eating chicken feet and sea slugs yet!!!!!!!!!! To experience the cultures of others is what is so rewarding.........but beating women with those twigs for treats..........I don't think I like that one myself!!!!!!!!!!!! Pictures were great to go along with the blog. Thanks for the effort. Know that it was a lot but we all loved it. Love ya, Nanny
