My last few days here in Berlin have been awesome.  We have seen the Pergamon Museum, Sachsenhausen, the Sanssouci Palace, the Orangery Palace, the 1936 Olympic stadium, and an actual bunker that was used in WW2.  The Pergamon Museum was really cool because they had exact replicas of different gates, and parts of the actual structures that were in Greece.  I think the coolest part of the Pergamon Museum was that we could see a panoramic view of an actual city from back in those times.  We could actually hear all of the different sounds that would have been happening.  Sachsenhausen was a concentration camp where people went if they committed crimes.  It was very chilling to see this because there were so many people who died there.  The Sanssouci Palace was where Frederick the Great lived.  Every room in this palace had a different design made especially for that room.  The Orangery Palace was a place for Frederick to put all of his exotic plants in the winter.  The Olympic stadium from 1936was very cool to see, and it was even more cool that we got to swim in the pool, and jump off the 10 meter.  it was very painful jumping off the 10 meter, the bottom of my foot is partially bruised.  The bunker was very interesting, because it was built right into a train station.  In the bunker there are a lot of different artifacts that have been found all over the different ones from around the city. Well, this is my last day here in Berlin.  My flight back to America leaves tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.

     Today was quite busy, my mom and I biked around Berlin seeing the different sights.  We went to the Ka De We, which is a very big shopping center, and had some very delicious parfait type things.  After that we went to bike around the Tiergarten for about one hour.  While trying to find the Stasi Museum we passed by the Brandenburg gate, and the American Embassy. When we finally found the Stasi Museum it was very interesting, there were so many little factoids that I never knew before. It was really very cool.  After the museum we had lunch at a little pizza place.  We had a spinach and garlic pizza, it was really good.  Check Point Charlie was the next thing on our list of adventures for the day, it was quite small but overall a very cool thing to see.  For a long while after that we just meandered around the city not looking for anything in particular.  We found the German History Museum, which was really educational. More to come...

     Today we leave again to head back to Berlin.  Its been a good four weeks here, and I'll miss it.  But I'm excited to get back to Berlin, especially since I get to see my mom tomorrow! So goodbye Denmark, and hello Germany!
