I spend the past few days in Berlin with some German friends I met in Barcelona. They showed us around sights and showed us some cool places for nightlife. It was great to ask questions from someone my age who saw history with their own eyes.
Currently, Berlin looks like another city that could even be in Canada. There is no signs of anything....except for museums, memorials and textbooks. I thought Berlin would be more exciting because of the history, but it seems all covered over with modern architecture. The people of Berlin are lovely and very hard working.
I spent my last day going to check point Charlie and reading about individual stories involving the Berlin wall. It was very interesting and I still cannot believe it was so recent in history.
But I am off to the airport now to fly to London, and then eventually home! Talk to you when I get home and feel free to call me!
Love you, Miss you, Can't wait to tell you all my stories

Hello Mal
Afew more days and your dream trip will be many pleasant memories. Did you notice the difference between East and West Berlin ? At one time there were many differences. It's very windy and blustery today, reminds us of what is to come.Have a safe journey home. Love Grandparents
