Hello from berlin!

Hi Everyone, I apologize for delay, but we've been a little busy exploring the depths of berlin.  Took a walking tour yesterdaz and then went to the concentration camp todaz.  Both trips were reallz amaying.  Weve been walking alot...I've lost 5 lbs already!  Hmmm...what other highlights.  The hostel is a little quirky but fun...everyone has been extremely helpful despite the worries regarding that germans might be a little on the serious and quiet side.  On Thursday, the museums (most) are free in the evening, so we saw some French impressionism and Egyption artifacts.  We've seen alot of the big stuff and loving the public transportation system...kinda sad we have nothing close in the twin cities.  The only hiccup was that our power converter blew out the first evening.  AKA- Jen can't use the hair dryer... uh oh!  So tomorrow is the last day in Berlin and then an early morning train on Saturday to Prague.  Hope you enjoz the pictures and mz apologies for the tzping as thez have the y and z mixed up on the german kezboards here.  Love Jen and Rzan

Glad you are safe and sound. We have very similar pictures of us in front of the Berlin wall and the Brandenberg Gate. Soo cool. Think we were there summer of 1990, right after the wall came down. It was kind scary driving around Berlin when we were there. Lots of barbed wire fences and soldiers with guns at different posts. Will be interested in your insights. Love, mom and dad
