Berlin

We spent the day in Berlin...
It was unbelievable, more than I even thought it would be. The history just hits you and pushes you over. Will write a more coherent post later. Berlin is the most interesting and complex city I've ever been to.


We even managed to see the 1936 Olympic Stadium on top of most of Berlin. It was special since today, 08/08/08 is the start of the 2008 Olympics, and we were able to watch part of the opening ceremonies from inside the stadium.
