Again, speeding down the Autobahn, we flew to Berlin in about 5 hours. We actually didnt stay in Berlin, but outside of the city about 40 minutes in Joachims family farmhouse. The house was in former East Germany, and it was very interesting to see the differences there. The farms around the house had lettuce patches and horses. It was really quiet and peaceful.
We went into Berlin and did some sight seeing. All the neat government buildings and monuments, and then went over to the Holocaust memorial. After that, Checkpoint Charlie, an old gate between East and West Berlin where tensions rose during the Cold War, and also to pieces of the Berlin Wall.
That night, we went to the area of town hosting the gay festival that attracted over 300,000 gays from outside of Berlin, including the 4 of us. It was a blast with vendors selling food and souveniers, dancing areas, drag shows, and penis pretzels. Look at the photos. Jon got a little tipsy, Achtung. Dont worry Mom. Marc took care of me.
After a good nights rest and some recovery time, we decided to make an impulsive decision and go to Prague. Which
we did. See you there...
