Berlin

We got to Berlin last night. Its really really cold. Today we did a long walking tour and saw the Brandenburg Gate, the area where the Berlin Wall and the no-man´s land once stood, part of the wall that is still standing, the holocaust memorial, the bunker where Hitler killed himself (its just an unmarked spot in a sidewalk right now), the museum area (went inside the Pergamon museum where statues and entire buildings from Pergamon and Babylonia are on display), a memorial to the Nazi book-burning, and we went inside the Reichstag - the parliament building with a redesigned roof and great view. We saw lots of other stuff that I can´t remember or can´t spell. Its a huge city.
