Travel Adventures: Berlin

From May 15th through the 18th I was in Berlin, Germany. Me and Cassie flew from Rome to Berlin on May 15th, it took about 3 hours with one layover in Frankfurt. When we got to the Berlin airport the baggage claim is right when you get off the plane so we grabbed our luggage and then went out and there was my friend Katie holding a sign for us! If you don't know my senior year in high school we had a foreign exchange student live with us and I still keep in contact with her! So anyways Katie's mom was driving and we got into the car drove back to their house which is in Falkensee, its right outside of Berlin. There neighborhood and house is so cute! It feels like you are in the woods! Anyways that night Katie made us Eierkuchen which is like german pancakes and you put nutella on them and they are delicious! Well the next morning we were suppposed to meet our friend Wojciech(yeah try to say that) from Poland in Berlin but his train was delayed so we went and saw the Berlin Wall and then this Memorial Church that was bombed in WWII. After that we went to the T.V. Tower and met up with our friend and then we all went up the T.V. Tower where you can get a panoramic view of Berlin. Then we walked over and saw the Brandenburg Tor, The Reichstag, and a Jewish Memorial for all those who died unnoticed. After we did all this Wojciech had to go back to Poland so Katie helped him get a ticket with his friend Jesse who was going back with him too. Then Me, Katie, and Cassie went to Katie's friends band concert! It was really cool! There was a Portugese band and a German one. A lot of the songs they sang were in English. The next morning we slept in a little and then went to Potsdam, which is a city where all the german kings built palaces and stuff like that, we walked around there for a while, took pictures, and then it started getting kind of hot, so we drove back to Katie's house and rented movies and got ice cream. That night we had a bbq, it was SO good! Braughtworst, chicken, steak, and lamb with these delicious rolls! We went to bed early, because we had to catch a train early the next morning. So the next day on monday we ate breakfast with everyone and then Katie's parents were nice enough to drive us to a train station in Berlin that would get us to the Main train station where our train to Poland was leaving from. So we said bye to them and thanked them for everything!
