Days 1 and 2

Well it has been a long two days for all of us! After a very smooth journey to Berlin, we've had a jam packed day. A few people fell asleep at dinner, so an 8 pm bed time was set. Today we got a general sense of the city, visited the Germany history museum, semi-climbed on the Berlin Wall and visited the Charlottenburg Palace and gardens- all before 5 6 pm! Mrs. Smith's AP students shined with their knowledge of German history at the museum and the palace. Lufthansa fed us a great selection of meals and snacks. We haven't had a lot of German treats yet, but hope to tomorrow. I have some great pictures to upload, however the blog is currently in German, so I can't figure out how to attach them. I'll work on a bit more tomorrow morning when I've had a chance to start thinking properly again. Our hotel in Berlin reminds me a little of college dorms; students are in doubles for the next two nights. We will see more of Berlin tomorrow, go to the Checkpoint Charlie museum, have some free time to shop and explore and visit Berlin's version of the space needle (cable transmission).
