Our first full day of touring Berlin greeted us with beautiful weather (again). After a leisurely breakfast, we headed out to see the Berlin Wall Memorial, then walked along multiple sections remaining of wall, then went to checkpoint Charlie (with KFC and McDonalds within a few feet of the spot).

| This section also included a guard tower |

| Very Americanized section of Berlin |

We then found a great donair spot for lunch, and after a brief rest, walked 30 min to the Spy Museum (saw an Enigma machine), walked around the Mall of Berlin, went to the memorial for murdered Jews, and then the Brandenburg gate. If that wasn't enough, Wendy Seidlitz and I walked over to the Reichstag. Sore feet pushed us to head back to the apartment for a light dinner.

| Enigma code machines |
 |
| At the Spy Museum - all spies drove Trabant's, right? |
 |
| Memorial for Murdered Jews - a lot larger than we had pictured. |
 |
| The Brandenburg Gate |
 |
| The Reichstadt |
Berlin so far is full of people smoking (as all other parts of Germany we have seen), but the most notable thing is the graffiti everywhere. Even at the top of tall buildings! Very different from Bavaria.
