Berlin

We spent several days in Berlin.  The weather has definately gotten colder since we've been here and as a result we spent a lot more time indoors.  We wandered around several musuems.  One of the most interesting was the musuem located by 'Checkpoint Charlie.'  This was the American checkpoint when the Soviets controlled Eastern Berlin.  The musuem was filled with stories and artifacts of how people escaped East Germany.  We did bundle up one night to go view the festivile of lights where some of the major actractions are lite up with multi-colored lights.  It was cold, but fun.  Tomorrow we say goodbye to Germany and head to even colder territory, Warsaw Poland.
