Berlin

After one night in our incredibly sketchy hostel, we moved across town to a cute bed and breakfast (thank you super hero Dave Kunkel). So now megan and I no longer need to fear that some rabid criminal serial killer is going to escape from the LOCAL high security prison and kill us in our sleep (and yes, this was a possible scenario if we had stayed in the last hostel).

Yesterday, Megan and I ventured to the Humbolt Museum of Nature to see dinosaurs and evolution at its best. It was amazing. Getting to see Archeoptreyx was another check off of my 'life to do list' and standing in a room full of dinosaur skeletons was surreal. It is crazy to think of something that large walking around-its not even possible to compare them to any other living creature today.

After the museum we wandered through the Streets of Berlin for a while longer than returned to our room for a good night sleep.

Today we left the B&B around 10 and headed for the main town center (Mitte). After seeing the Jewish Memorial, a piece of the Berlin wall, and the other beautiful buildings, we headed for the Cathedral. When we walked through the doors, we stood in awe looking at the enormous dome looming above us. The murals and stain glass windows were gorgeous and the details of the room were stunning.

We have now returned to the B&B and will be heading to bed soon, because we have an early morning tomorrow when we will tour a concentration camp and then jump on a train to Stuttgart, Germany to visit some of Megan's family friends. Then we will be going to Amsterdam! And then Paris!

Hope all is well back home!
