"Gutentag" from Berlin. I am soaking in the history, food, and culture of German's capital city. I went on a four hour walking tour, and while my feet were numb from the cold and walking, I was able to see all of the major historical sites around the city. I spent an evening atop the Kollhoff Tower, watching the sunset over panoramic views of the city. It is astounding to realize that less than thirty years ago this bustling and modern city was literally divided down the middle. The city is still healing, but it is a beacon of progress and hope.
