Second Day In Berlin

After the breakfast offered in our hotel spread out in a dining room with a balcony overlooking the street below, we set off for Schloss Charlottenburg. It is a palace that was occupied by some royal family a long time ago(you can see how well I listened). It had beautiful decor. Later that night we took the train to the former East Berlin side and saw the Brandonburg Gate. This area is a party zone- street musicians and restaurants. We ate at an outside cafe and I bravely tried white sausage. I don't know enough vile curse words to describe how it tasted, but at least I tried to fit in to the culture. At night the Gate is light and it is a beautiful sight. Nearby there is a memorial park dedicated to the murdered Jews of Europe and a memorial for those who lost their lives trying to escape East Germany. Walking around here it is hard to imagine that not that long ago this city was divided! Stay tuned for tomorrow's adventure: Jerry is leaving us to go visit a friend two hours away and will be gone overnight. Will the three of us be able to survive without speaking German or really knowing where we are? I would love to post photos but having technical issues:(. maybe next stop.
