Only in Berlin..

currywurst anyone? HAHAHA

Checkpoint Charlie

Reichstag Building

The Reichstag building/dome in Berlin.

The thing I love to do most when visiting a new city(or any city) is to get a birds eye view of the place. The Reichstag building, besides being one of the main focal points of Berlin, gives a great perspective on the German Capital. The glass dome at the top is extremely unique and offers a great 360 degree view of Berlin.

 The spiral walkway up to the top..

 Looking out towards west Berlin

 Brandenburg Gate

 Holocaust Memorial

 One thing you can really see from the Reichstag is all the different architecture. The architecture in Berlin is truly something unlike anywhere else. Roughly 90percent of the city was destroyed during WWII. Consequently now nearly every building is new and different from one another.

 Main train station(where we took the train to Prague)

 Mom finally made it to Berlin!

 The Swiss Embassy

Historical timeline of the Reichstag..

Getting to visit this city that has had such immense historical impact on the makeup of the present day world was truly humbling.

Currywurst

The currywurst in Berlin was soooooo good!

The Berlin Wall

 Finally got to see the Berlin Wall!! It was so epic!! Very surreal finally seeing something that you grow up hearing and reading and seeing so much about. 

 All the history surrounding it is just amazing..

The JFK "ich bin ein Berliner" speech in 1963,

 Reagan's "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall." speech in 1987

The Berlin airlifts etc etc..

It was just awesome. A very heavy and humbling experience!

Can't imagine how it must've been back in the day

Johnny Rotten(sex pistols) sums it up pretty well tho..
