I apologize for the posting silence, but internet cafes were hard to come by over the past several days (often due to time more than availability).
Today we were in Berlin, staying at the Hotel Bogota. We left the hotel for a coach tour of the city at 9:00 AM and saw the major sites, stopping for pictures at Brandenburg Gate and a still-standing portion of the Berlin Wall. We also toured the Checkpoint Charlie museum, which documents escape attempts and resistance during the period of division in Berlin.
Following the mornings activities, we set a meeting place in Alexanderplatz, and groups of students and chaperones explored the city. We finished the evening with buffet style dinner, which was much welcomed by our hearty eaters.
Tomorrow those on the regular tour depart for home and the rest of us continue on to Munich!
