Today was about seeing the sights of Berlin. We were joined about 9:00 am by Marcel Bengs, an ERHS exchange student from 2007-2008. He took a train from his home in Bonn to spend the day with us. It was really helpful to have him with our group, and the students really liked him.
Our group took a bus tour of the city with the chance to get on and off to see the sights. Some of the locations visited were Brandenburg Gates, Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Berlin Wall. After the bus tour, Marcel had set up a private tour for our group of the German Capital Building, the Reichstag. This was done by Johannes Kahrs, who is a member of the Bundestag (parliament) from Hamburg.
Tomorrow the group will travel by train to Munich. At the Munich train station we will be picked up by our hosts from Gars.
