Day 3-- Berlin

The day started out with a tour- partially walking, partially bus. We saw Checkpoint Charley, at which the Russian and American sectors of Berlin were divided. We went up the TV Tower and could see all of Berlin, and then some. We visited the Jewish Museum, which was cool. We went to the Halocaust exhibit. It was a concrete building. You could hear the outside world, but you were in the dark, isolated. In another part of the museum, there were 49 columns in a perfect rectangle, each filled with a piece of land from Israel. We're to spend the night on a night train. It's supposed to be fairly comfortable, but Rob says there or only two heat settings, "freeze to death or boil."
