Berlinstratte Van Housen, Germany-Faderlandenstein

Today we tried a new a lot of new things. Here they are :

Woke up early (okay, so that's not new)
Ate breakfast at our hostel (wait, that's not new either)
Took a walking tour (it was only our third with the same company!)
Saw a monument (monument number 254 of our trip)
Saw another monument (255!)
Got on the metro (we are metro champs)
Ate local cuisine (like brisket and hot dogs. wait, what?)
Went back to our hostel to get wifi (gotta text mom! running out of money...)

Okay, so it was a pretty typical day, but it was a good day. We saw some cool stuff (Tim really liked Paris Platz : a plaza dedicated to making fun of France). Maria liked the hot air balloon and bought a butterfly lanyard (...) And I really liked the holocaust memorial. I'm really pumped to see Auschwitz (only 2 days from now). We also saw what's left of the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Dom, Reichstag, the War Memorial, museum island, the opera, gendarmen platz, the site of the nazi book burning, and probably some other things we've already forgotten.

It's time to play cards so I'm wrapping this up. Thanks for reading and be sure to check out our pics from today ;)
