Learning the City

So sorry for the late daily blog posts. I know some of you supporters, were looking forward to a day-to-day recap of the trip. While on the trip, it was difficult to attain a strong Wi-Fi connection. The only place with good enough Wi-Fi was the hotel room. However, in the evenings, we would get back to our hotel too late in the night. While I am now posting the day-to-day recaps, many apologies if I was not able to keep you updated.

Tourists for a day

Today the four of us took the day to get to learn about the city and its rich history. We began by pausing to reflect on the Berlin Wall Memorial. This time in history severely damaged the culture of Berlin by creating distrust between all peoples and strangers.

Next, we saw the Kaiser Wilhelm Church which is one of the few remaining buildings that survived the WWII bombings. After climbing many steps we took in the beautiful Berlin skyline at the top of the Berliner Dom.

We took a walking tour with a few of the Berlin team's six-week Apexers. Here we were able to stop by and capture a few photos of the Brandenburg Gate.
