Dear Family, Thursday November 6th 2008
We got up at 8:30, and were a little slow getting moving, so much to my chagrin, we didn't leave the hostel until a little after 9. It was terrible. We went to the Holocaust Memorial first, and then on to the Brandenburger Tor, in the daylight this time. We then went to Potsdamer Platz and saw pieces of the Berlin Wall, saw the Christmas Market there, and then went to Checkpoint Charlie. Afterwards we went to the Deutsche Oper Cafe and had some amazing food there, some Hackfleisch and some Huhnchen Brust. It was fabulous, and made me ridiculously regret not having ordered anything but the Kartoffelsuppe when I was here last year.
We then went to the Zoo and walked around there a bit, climbed the Siegesäule, and then walked around Unter den Linden. For dinner we had some pretty amazing Döners (the ones in Vienna are disgusting, so I've missed them terribly).
At 6 o'clock the museums were free, so we hit up the Ägyptisches Museum, the Pergamon, and the Gemäldegalerie. We then had some Bienenstich at my favorite bakery, and called it a day.
Love,
Anna
