Berlin Day 1

For our first day in Berlin, we decided it was best to do a bus tour of the city so that we could get acquainted with Berlin. It was an on and off bus that had 15 stops, allowing us to get off and on at any stop we wanted to. After riding it for a full loop, we got off to see Peter Eisenman's Holocaust Memorial - one of Berlins most famous architectural designs.





After visiting the memorial and underground museum, we took the bus back to our original starting point and tried to find some authentic German food for dinner (not any easy task we came to find out). After walking for a good 30 minutes, we decided to just stop at one of the abundant Italian restaurants. Coincidentally, the German soccer team was having a game in the Eurocup 2008, so all the restaurants had setup outside table with large tvs to watch the game, so we sat down and watched the game with screaming Germans and there jugs of beer.
